The Agilent 8114A is a 100 V / 2 A programmable pulse generator designed to deliver clean, reliable, and repeatable pulse waveforms for characterization and test applications. The instrument provides 100 Vpp output capability (2 A) into open circuit (or from a 1 kΩ source into 50 Ω), with a 15 MHz repetition rate, fixed 7 ns transitions, variable pulse width, and 3-digit resolution across all timing and level parameters.
This pulse generator is suited for characterization and test work where clean, accurate pulse waveforms are required, and where the device under test must be protected from accidental damage during setup and operation. Per the datasheet, the 8114A supports automated test system integration through SCPI programming commands, accepts external triggering and gating, and provides a TTL inhibit input that allows a feedback signal from the DUT or test system to hold the pulse output at its baseline level under hardware control.
ValueTronics International stores and tests pulse generators like the Agilent 8114A in our own 20,000 square foot secure warehouse at 1675 Cambridge Drive, Elgin, Illinois. Unlike drop-shippers and pass-through brokers, every instrument we list is physically present in our facility, where our technicians verify it against the manufacturer's published specifications before it leaves the dock. For a programmable pulse generator that customers depend on for repeatable timing accuracy and clean transitions, that hands-on verification is the difference between buying a model number and buying a confirmed working instrument.
The 8114A carries the Agilent brand from the period after Hewlett-Packard spun off its test and measurement business as Agilent Technologies in 1999. Agilent's electronic measurement business was subsequently transferred to Keysight Technologies in 2014, which is the current corporate successor for instruments in the 8114A's product family. Units in the field may be labeled HP, Agilent, or carry documentation referencing any of these successor entities.
