INTRODUCTION
The AV-1010-B / AV-1011-B is a high performance, GPIB and RS232-equipped
instrument capable of 200 W peak pulse power at repetition rates up to 1 MHz. The
output amplitude is variable up to 100 V into 50 . Rise and fall times are fixed at less
than 10 ns. The AV-1010-B / AV-1011-B provides single or double pulse output and can
be triggered or gated by an external source. A front-panel pushbutton can also be used
to trigger the instrument. The output pulse width can be set to follow an input trigger
pulse width and the output amplitude can be controlled by an externally applied 0 to
+10 Volts DC control voltage.
The AV-1011-B pulse width can be adjusted from 100 ns to 1 ms.
The AV-1010-B pulse width can be adjusted from 20 ns to 10 ms.
The AV-1010-B / AV-1011-B features front panel keyboard and adjust knob control of the
output pulse parameters along with a four line by 40 character back-lit LCD display of
the output amplitude, polarity, pulse width, pulse repetition frequency, source resistance
and delay. The instrument includes memory to store up to four complete instrument
setups. The operator may use the front panel or the computer interface to store a
complete snapshot of all key instrument settings, and recall this setup at a later time.
The source resistance can be set at either 2 or 50. In the 2 setting, the output
amplitude is variable from 0.5 to 100V. In the 50 setting the amplitude is variable from
0.3 to 50V to 50, or to 100 Volts to a high impedance. The output amplitude can also
be controlled externally by applying a 0 to +10V DC control voltage to a rear panel BNC
connector.
The MOSFET output stages will safely withstand any combination of front panel control
settings, output open or short circuits, and high duty cycles. An internal power supply
monitor removes the power to the output stage for five seconds if an average power
overload exists. After that time, the unit operates normally for one second, and if the
overload condition persists, the power is cut again. This cycle repeats until the overload
is removed. With a 50 load the unit will withstand duty cycles as high as 10% but with
high impedance loads the duty cycle may be as high as 80%. The output stage will
source up to 2.5 Amps (and will automatically shut down if the load current exceeds 2.5
Amps).
Application notes describing the use of the AV-1010 and AV-1011 families of pulse
generators are available on the Avtech web site, http://www.avtechpulse.com.
This instrument is intended for use in research, development, test and calibration
laboratories by qualified personnel.

AVAILABLE OPTIONS
-OT Option (available for the AV-1011-B only): This optional feature allows a 20V offset
to be added to the output.
-R5 Option: This is the optional rack-mounting kit. The R5 rack-mount kit may also be
ordered separately.
-VXI Option: Adds a rear-panel Ethernet connector, allowing the instrument to be
remotely controlled using the VXI-11.3, ssh (secure shell), telnet, and http (web)
protocols. In particular, the VXI-11.3 features allows software like LabView to control an
instrument using standard VISA communications drivers and network cabling, instead
of using old-style GPIB cabling. (This eliminates the need for a GPIB controller card
and its proprietary drivers.)

Add the suffix -R5 to the model number to include 19 rack mount kit
1) -B suffix indicates IEEE-488.2 GPIB and RS-232 control of amplitude and frequency. See http://www.avtechpulse.com/ gpib for details.
2) The output amplitude may also be controlled by applying 0 to +10 V DC to a rear-panel BNC connector.
3) The output pulse width may also be controlled externally by applying a TTL-level trigger of the desired width to a rear-panel BNC connector (PWIN =
PWOUT mode).
4) For adjustable (0 to 20V) DC offset, add -OT to the model number (e.g., AV-1011-B-OT). When generating a pulse with positive amplitude, the
offset plus amplitude must remain between 0 and +100V, and when generating a pulse with negative amplitude, the offset plus amplitude must
remain between 0 and -100V.
5) Add the suffix -VXI to the model number to specify the Ethernet port.
6) This is the internal resistance in series with the output. It is not the load resistance.
7) The output can be set at lower values, but the overshoot may become significant relative to the pulse amplitude at low amplitudes.
8) The time between the trailing edge of the first pulse and the leading edge of the second pulse (the dead time when the output voltage is zero) must
be equal to or greater than the set pulse width plus 100 ns. For instance, if the pulse width is 1 us, the programmed delay between leading edges
must be greater than 1 us (the pulse width) + 1.1 us (the minimum dead time) = 2.1 us.
9) The amplitude may decrease ~10% relative to the programmed setting if the instrument is operating at or near the maximum specified duty cycle.

FRONT PANEL CONTROLS
1
1. POWER Switch. This is the main power switch. When turning the instrument on,
there is normally a delay of 10 seconds before anything is shown on the main
display, as the internal operating system boots up.
If the main menu does not appear after 30 seconds, turn off the instrument and
leave it off for at least 60 seconds before applying power again.
2. OVERLOAD Indicator. When the instrument is powered, this indicator is normally
green, indicating normal operation. If this indicator is yellow, an internal automatic
overload protection circuit has been tripped. If the unit is overloaded (by operating
at an exceedingly high duty cycle or by operating into a very low impedance), the
protective circuit will disable the output of the instrument and turn the indicator light
yellow. The light will stay yellow (i.e. output disabled) for about 5 seconds after
which the instrument will attempt to re-enable the output (i.e. light green) for about 1
second. If the overload condition persists, the output will be disabled again (i.e. light
yellow) for another 5 seconds. If the overload condition has been removed, the
instrument will resume normal operation.
This overload indicator may flash yellow briefly at start-up. This is not a cause for
concern.
Note that the output stage will safely withstand a short-circuited load condition.
3. OUT CONNECTOR. This BNC connector provides the main output signal, into load
impedances of 50 or higher.
Caution: Voltages as high as 100V may be present on the center conductor of
this output connector. Avoid touching this conductor. Connect to this connector
using standard coaxial cable, to ensure that the center conductor is not exposed.
4. SYNC OUT. This connector supplies a SYNC output that can be used to trigger
other equipment, particularly oscilloscopes. This signal leads (or lags) the main
output by a duration set by the "DELAY" controls and has an approximate amplitude
19

This moves the arrow pointer on the display.
This is used to enter the submenu, or to select the operating
mode, pointed to by the arrow pointer.
If one of the adjustable numeric parameters is displayed, this
increases the setting by a factor of ten.
If one of the adjustable numeric parameters is displayed, this
decreases the setting by a factor of ten.
If one of the adjustable numeric parameters is displayed, and
this parameter can be both positive or negative, this changes
the sign of the parameter.
This changes the step size of the ADJUST knob. In the extrafine mode, the step size is twenty times finer than in the normal
mode. This button switches between the two step sizes.
This large knob adjusts the value of any displayed numeric
adjustable values, such as frequency, pulse width, etc. The
adjust step size is set by the "EXTRA FINE" button.
When the main menu is displayed, this knob can be used to

Note: some connectors may be in different positions than shown above, depending on
the exact combination of options ordered.
1. AC POWER INPUT. An IEC-320 C14 three-pronged recessed male socket is
provided on the back panel for AC power connection to the instrument. One end of
the detachable power cord that is supplied with the instrument plugs into this
socket.
2. AC FUSE DRAWER. The two fuses that protect the AC input are located in this
drawer. Please see the FUSES section of this manual for more information.
3. DC FUSES. These two fuses protect the internal DC power supplies. Please see the
FUSES sections of this manual for more information.
4. GATE. This TTL-level (0 and +5V) logic input can be used to gate the triggering of
the instrument. This input can be either active high or active low, depending on the
front panel settings or programming commands. (The instrument triggers normally
when this input is unconnected). When set to active high mode, this input is pulleddown to ground by a 1 k resistor. When set to active low mode, this input is pulledup to +5V by a 1 k resistor.
5. TRIG. This TTL-level (0 and +5V) logic input can be used to trigger the instrument, if
the instrument is set to triggering externally. The instrument triggers on the rising
edge of this input. The input impedance of this input is 1 k. (Depending on the
length of cable attached to this input, and the source driving it, it may be desirable
to add a coaxial 50 Ohm terminator to this input to provide a proper transmission
line termination. The Pasternack (www.pasternack.com) PE6008-50 BNC feed-thru
50 Ohm terminator is suggested for this purpose.)
21
When triggering externally, the instrument can be set such that the output pulse
width tracks the pulse width on this input, or the output pulse width can be set
independently.
6. GPIB Connector. A standard GPIB cable can be attached to this connector to allow
the instrument to be computer-controlled. See the Programming Manual for -B
Instruments for more details on GPIB control.
7. RS-232 Connector. A standard serial cable with a 25-pin male connector can be
attached to this connector to allow the instrument to be computer-controlled. A user
name (admin) and a password (default, as shipped from the factory) are required
when logging into a serial terminal session. The internal controller attempts to autosense the parity setting. It may be necessary to send a few return characters before
attempting a login in order to provide enough data to allow this auto-sensing to work.
(A standard Linux agetty process is used to implement serial control internally.) See
the Programming Manual for -B Instruments for more details on RS-232 control.
8. Network Connector. (Optional feature. Present on -VXI units only.) This Ethernet
connector allows the instrument to be remotely controlled using the VXI-11.3, ssh
(secure shell), telnet, and http (web) protocols. See the Programming Manual for -B
Instruments for more details.
9. AMP Connector. The output amplitude can be set to track the voltage on this input.
Zero Volts in corresponds to zero amplitude output, and +10V in corresponds to
maximum amplitude out. This mode is activated by selecting "Ext Control" on the frontpanel amplitude menu, or with the "source:voltage external" command.
22
GENERAL INFORMATION
BASIC PULSE CONTROL
This instrument can be triggered by its own internal clock or by an external TTL trigger
signal. In either case, two output channels respond to the trigger: OUT and SYNC. The
OUT channel is the signal that is applied to the load. Its amplitude and pulse width are
variable. The SYNC pulse is a fixed-width TTL-level reference pulse used to trigger
oscilloscopes or other measurement systems. When the delay is set to a positive value
the SYNC pulse precedes the OUT pulse. When the delay is set to a negative value the
SYNC pulse follows the OUT pulse.
These pulses are illustrated below, assuming internal triggering and a positive delay:

24
TRIGGER MODES
This instrument has four trigger modes:
Internal Trigger: the instrument controls the trigger frequency, and

generates the clock internally.
External Trigger: the instrument is triggered by an external TTL-level clock

on the back-panel TRIG connector.
Manual Trigger: the instrument is triggered by the front-panel SINGLE

PULSE pushbutton.
Hold Trigger: the instrument is set to not trigger at all.
These modes can be selected using the front panel trigger menu, or by using the
appropriate programming commands. (See the Programming Manual for -B
Instruments for more details.)
PULSE WIDTH MODES
This instrument has two pulse width modes:
Normal: the instrument controls the output pulse width.
PW IN=PW OUT: the output pulse width equals the pulse width of the trigger
signal on the TRIG connector. The instrument must be in the external
trigger mode.
These modes can be selected using the front panel pulse width menu, or by using the
appropriate programming commands. (See the Programming Manual for -B
Instruments for more details.)
GATING MODES
Triggering can be suppressed by a TTL-level signal on the rear-panel GATE connector.
The instrument can be set to stop triggering when this input high or low, using the frontpanel gate menu or the appropriate programming commands. This input can also be set
to act synchronously or asynchronously. When set to asynchronous mode, the GATE
will disable the output immediately. Output pulses may be truncated. When set to
synchronous mode, the output will complete the full pulse width if the output is high,
and then stop triggering. No pulses are truncated in this mode.
25
DUTY CYCLE CONSIDERATIONS
When operating into a 50 Ohm load, the output duty cycle (i.e., pulse width divided by
pulse period) is limited to 10%.
However, if the load impedance is 10 k or greater, the output duty cycle can as high
as 80%. To achieve this extended duty cycle, the instrument must be set to highimpedance-load mode. To activate this mode, use the front-panel Load menu to switch
the load setting to > 10 k, or use the output:load 10000 computer command (see
the programming manual for details).
BURST GENERATION (-BR OPTION)
The waveforms given above assume that a single output pulse is generated for each
trigger event (regardless of the source). However, when the burst mode feature is used
on units with the -BR option, the instrument can generate 1-500 pulses for each
individual trigger event. The number of output pulses in each burst can be adjusted
from 1 to 500 using the front-panel controls (using the N menu), or by a computer
command. The time between pulses (i.e., from the falling edge of one pulse to the rising
edge of the next pulse) can also varied from 0.9 us to 1.0 seconds from the front panel
(using the BUR menu), or by computer command.
The figure below shows burst mode operation (i.e., N > 1) used with internal triggering:

SEPARATION
The burst mode may also be used with the front-panel Single Pulse pushbutton as a
trigger source. (Pressing the pushbutton will actually generate a single burst, rather
than a single pulse, in this mode.) Computer commands can also trigger a burst.
To control the burst count and timing from the front-panel, use the N and BUR
menus. To control them using computer commands, use the SOURce:PULSe:COUNt
and SOURce:PULSe:SEParation commands, as described in the programming manual.
The pulse spacing is constrained by several factors:
1. The maximum PRF limitation of the instrument applies within the burst. That is,
timing between two consecutive leading edges must lie between a minimum of
1/PRFMAX and a maximum of 1.0 seconds, where PRFMAX is the maximum pulse
repetition frequency specification for the instrument.
For this instrument, the maximum PRF for the instrument is 1 MHz, so the time
between two leading edges within the burst may not be smaller than 1.0
microseconds. The total number of pulses per second (i.e., Trigger Frequency x
Burst Count) must also be less than 1 MHz.
2. The maximum duty cycle limitation of the instrument can not be exceeded inside
the burst. Within the burst, the duty cycle may be calculated using DC BURST =
100% x Pulse Width / (Pulse Width + Pulse Separation). The total average duty
cycle is equal to DCAVG = 100% x Pulse Width x Burst Count x Trigger
Frequency. Both DCBURST and DCAVG must be less than the rated maximum
duty cycle of the instrument.
For this instrument, the maximum duty cycle is 10%.
27
DC OFFSET (-OT OPTION)

Instruments with the -OT offset option can add a 20V offset to the output (10V if the
output impedance and the load impedance are both 50). This is subject to the
limitation that when generating a pulse with positive amplitude, the peak voltage (offset
plus amplitude) must remain above zero, and when generating a pulse with negative
amplitude, the offset plus amplitude must remain below zero. This is illustrated below:

MINIMIZING WAVEFORM DISTORTIONS
OUTPUT IMPEDANCE
The output impedance of the AV-1010-B / AV-1011-B can be set at 2 or 50 using the
front panel controls (or GPIB/RS-232 commands).
When driving a high impedance load (i.e., R L >> 50), the output impedance should
always be set to 50. This will minimize waveform ringing and transmission line
reflections, without adversely affecting the pulse amplitude.
When driving a 50 load, it is also highly desirable to set the output impedance to 50.
However, the output impedance and the load resistance will cause a resistive voltagedivider effect, reducing the output amplitude at the load by a factor of two. Thus, the
50 output impedance can only be used to generate amplitudes of 0 to 50V. Similarly,
for units with the -OT option, the maximum offset at the load is reduced from 20V to
10V.
GENERATING LOW-VOLTAGE WAVEFORMS
When generating low-voltage waveforms, the output waveforms will have much less
distortion (i.e. ringing) if the output impedance is set to 50. As noted above, if the
pulse generator is driving a 50 load, this will result in a resistive-divider effect for
instance, to obtain the best possible +5V waveform into a 50 load, set the pulse
generator output impedance to 50, and the amplitude to +10V.
USE 50 OHM TRANSMISSION LINES
Connect the load to the pulse generator with 50 transmission lines (e.g. RG-58 or
RG-174 cable). If possible, use a 50 load. If the actual device under test has a high
impedance, consider adding a 50 termination in parallel with the load to properly
terminate the transmission line.
Setting the pulse generator output impedance to 50 will back-match the
transmission line, resulting in improved performance.
USE LOW-INDUCTANCE LOADS
Lenzs Law predicts that for an inductive voltage spike will be generated when the
current through an inductance changes. Specifically, V SPIKE = L dILOAD/dt, where L is
the inductance, ILOAD is the load current change, and t is time. For this reason, it is
important to keep any parasitic in the load low. This means keeping wiring short, and
using low inductance components. In particular, wire-wound resistors should be
avoided.
29
TYPICAL WAVEFORMS
Figure 1 shows typical output waveforms with the pulse generator amplitude set at
+100V, the pulse width at 500 ns, and the output impedance set to 2. The pulse
generator is connected to a 50 load through an 8 length of RG-174 cable.
Figure 1 (20V/div, 100 ns/div)

Figure 2 shows the results with similar settings, except that the output impedance has
been set to 50. As a result, the amplitude at the load has fallen by a factor of two, and
the waveform shows less distortion on the very fast falling edge.
30
Figures 3 and 4 show operation at low voltages. Figure 3 shows typical output
waveforms with the pulse generator amplitude set at +5V, the pulse width at 500 ns,
and the output impedance set to 2. The pulse generator is again connected to a 50
load through an 8 length of RG-174 cable. At this low amplitude, the waveform is
dominated by undesirable ringing.

This situation can be remedied by setting the output impedance to 50, and doubling
the set amplitude to +10V to compensate for the voltage-divider effect. Figure 4 shows
the vastly improved waveform that results.

Figure 5 shows the output of an instrument with the -OT option, with amplitude set at
+80V, the offset at +20V, the pulse width at 500 ns, and the output impedance at 2.
31

Figure 6 also shows the output of an instrument with the -OT option, with amplitude set
at +80V, the offset at +20V, and the pulse width at 500 ns, but the output impedance is
set at 50. The amplitude and offset at the load fall by a factor of two, compared to
Figure 5.
32
OPERATIONAL CHECK
This section describes a sequence to confirm the basic operation of the instrument. It
should be performed after receiving the instrument. It is a useful learning exercise as
well.
Before proceeding with this procedure, finish reading this instruction manual
thoroughly. Then read the Local Control section of the Programming Manual for -B
Instruments thoroughly. The Local Control section describes the front panel controls
used in this operational check - in particular, the MOVE, CHANGE, and ADJUST
controls.
1. Connect a cable from the SYNC OUT connector to the TRIG input of an
oscilloscope. Connect a 10W (or higher) 50 load to the OUT connector and place
the scope probe across this load. Set the oscilloscope to trigger externally with the
vertical setting at 5 Volts/div and the horizontal setting at 1 us/div.
2. Turn on the AV-1010-B / AV-1011-B. The main menu will appear on the LCD.
3. To set the AV-1010-B / AV-1011-B to trigger from the internal clock at a PRF of 10
kHz:
a) The arrow pointer should be pointing at the frequency menu item. If it is not,
press the MOVE button until it is.
b) Press the CHANGE button. The frequency submenu will appear. Rotate the
ADJUST knob until the frequency is set at 10 kHz.
c) The arrow pointer should be pointing at the Internal choice. If it is not, press
MOVE until it is.
d) Press CHANGE to return to the main menu.
4. To set the delay to 1 us:
a) Press the MOVE button until the arrow pointer is pointing at the delay menu
item.
b) Press the CHANGE button. The delay submenu will appear. Rotate the
ADJUST knob until the delay is set at 1 us.
c) The arrow pointer should be pointing at the Normal choice. If it is not, press
MOVE until it is.
33
5. To set the pulse width to 1 us:
a) Press the MOVE button until the arrow pointer is pointing at the pulse width
menu item.
b) Press the CHANGE button. The pulse width submenu will appear. Rotate the
ADJUST knob until the pulse width is set at 1 us.
c) The arrow pointer should be pointing at the Normal choice. If it is not, press
MOVE until it is.
6. The main menu display should show that the output impedance (Z OUT) is set at 2,
and the load impedance (RL) is set at 50. If they are different, change the settings.
7. At this point, nothing should appear on the oscilloscope.
8. To enable the output:
a) Press the MOVE button until the arrow pointer is pointing at the output menu
item.
b) Press the CHANGE button. The output submenu will appear.
c) Press MOVE until the arrow pointer is pointing at the ON choice.
9. To change the output amplitude:
a) Press the MOVE button until the arrow pointer is pointing at the amplitude
menu item.
b) Press the CHANGE button. The amplitude submenu will appear. Rotate the
ADJUST knob until the amplitude is set at 10V.
c) Observe the oscilloscope. You should see 1 us wide, 10V pulses.
d) Rotate the ADJUST knob. The amplitude as seen on the oscilloscope should
vary. Set it at 20V.
e) Press CHANGE to return to the main menu.
10. Try varying the pulse width, by repeating step (5). As you rotate the ADJUST knob,
the pulse width on the oscilloscope will change. It should agree with the displayed
value. Stay below 10% duty cycle.
34
11. Go to the output impedance menu, and set the output impedance (Z OUT) to 50 .
Return to the main menu. If a 50 load is attached to the output (see step 1) the
amplitude should fall by a factor of 2, to 10V.
12. To change the output amplitude polarity:
a) Press the MOVE button until the arrow pointer is pointing at the amplitude
menu item.
b) Press the CHANGE button. The amplitude submenu will appear.
c) Press the +/- button. The amplitude as seen on the oscilloscope should
become negative.
This completes the operational check.
35
PROGRAMMING YOUR PULSE GENERATOR
KEY PROGRAMMING COMMANDS
The Programming Manual for -B Instruments describes in detail how to connect the
pulse generator to your computer, and the programming commands themselves. A large
number of commands are available; however, normally you will only need a few of
these. Here is a basic sample sequence of commands that might be sent to the
instrument after power-up, using the internal trigger source:
*rst
trigger:source internal
frequency 1000 Hz
pulse:width 10 us
pulse:delay 1 us
output:load 50
output:impedance 2
output on
volt 50
volt:low 10
(resets the instrument)

(selects internal triggering)
(sets the frequency to 1000 Hz)
(sets the pulse width to 10 us)
(sets the delay to 1 us)
(tells the instrument that you are using a 50 load.
This affects the duty cycle limit. The only other allowed
setting is output:load 10000.)
(sets the output impedance to 2. The only other allowed
setting is output:impedance 50.)
(turns on the output)
(sets the amplitude to 50 V)
(FOR -OT OPTION ONLY: sets the offset to +10 V)
For triggering a single event, this sequence would be more appropriate:

*rst
trigger:source hold
pulse:width 10 us
pulse:delay 1 us
output:load 50

(turns off all triggering)
output:impedance 2
output on
volt 50
volt:low 10
trigger:source immediate (generates a single non-repetitive trigger event)
trigger:source hold
(turns off all triggering)
output off
(turns off both outputs)
To trigger from an external TTL pulse, use:
*rst
36
trigger:source external
pulse:width 10 us
pulse:delay 1 us
output:load 50
output:impedance 2
output on
volt 50
volt:low 10
(selects external triggering)

To set the output pulse width to track the trigger pulse width in external mode, use:
*rst
trigger:source external
pulse:width in
output:load 50
output:impedance 2
output on
volt 50
volt:low 10

(selects external triggering)
(PW OUT = PW IN)
These commands will satisfy 90% of your programming needs.

MANUAL FEEDBACK
Please report any errors or omissions in this manual, or suggestions for improvement,
to info@avtechpulse.com. Thanks!

MECHANICAL INFORMATION
TOP COVER REMOVAL
If necessary, the interior of the instrument may be accessed by removing the four
Phillips screws on the top panel. With the four screws removed, the top cover may be
slid back (and off).
Always disconnect the power cord and allow the instrument to sit unpowered for 10
minutes before opening the instrument. This will allow any internal stored charge to
discharge.
There are no user-adjustable internal circuits. For repairs other than fuse replacement,
please contact Avtech (info@avtechpulse.com) to arrange for the instrument to be
returned to the factory for repair. Service is to be performed solely by qualified service
personnel.
Caution: High voltages are present inside the instrument during normal operation.
Do not operate the instrument with the cover removed.
RACK MOUNTING
A rack mounting kit is available. The -R5 rack mount kit may be installed after first
removing the one Phillips screw on the side panel adjacent to the front handle.
ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE
To prevent electromagnetic interference with other equipment, all used outputs should
be connected to shielded loads using shielded coaxial cables. Unused outputs should
be terminated with shielded coaxial terminators or with shielded coaxial dust caps, to
prevent unintentional electromagnetic radiation. All cords and cables should be less
than 3m in length.
40
MAINTENANCE
REGULAR MAINTENANCE
This instrument does not require any regular maintenance.
On occasion, one or more of the four rear-panel fuses may require replacement. All
fuses can be accessed from the rear panel. See the FUSES section for details.
CLEANING
If desired, the interior of the instrument may be cleaned using compressed air to
dislodge any accumulated dust. (See the TOP COVER REMOVAL section for
instructions on accessing the interior.) No other cleaning is recommended.
TRIGGER DAMAGE
The rear-panel TRIG input, used in the external trigger mode, is protected by a diode
clamping circuit. However, the protection circuit is not foolproof, and it is possible for a
grossly excessive signal to damage the trigger circuitry on the main timing control
board (the 410 inch board on the right side of the instrument).
The IC that is most likely to fail under these conditions is installed in a socket. It is a
standard TTL IC in a 16-pin plastic DIP package, model 74F151 or equivalent.
If you suspect that this IC has been damaged, turn off the power and replace this IC. It
may be replaced by a 74F151, 74LS151, 74ALS151, or 74HCT151.
