Control Unit for Critical Potential Tubes (230 V, 50/60 Hz)
Control unit for operating the critical potential tubes. Equipped with an output for sawtooth acceleration voltages; adjustable upper and lower limits of the acceleration voltage. Integrated pico-ammeter amplifier for anode current measurement. Allows recording of the acceleration voltage as a function of the anode current. A slow sawtooth voltage (approx. 6 seconds per cycle) is available with an interface or XY-recorder; a sawtooth voltage with a repetition rate of 20 Hz is available for oscilloscopic observations.
Input: Anode current measurement via a BNC jack
Outputs:
Tube Sawtooth acceleration voltage of 0 – 60 V, 20 Hz
Fast Voltage signal of 0 – 1 V, proportional to the acceleration
voltage, for oscilloscopic observations
Slow Voltage signal of 0 – 1 V proportional to the acceleration
voltage, for recording data with an XY-recorder or interface
Anode current Voltage signal of 0 – 1 V proportional to the anode current
(1 V/nA)
Supply voltage: 12 V DC
Dimensions: approx. 170x105x45 mm³
