4033, 4034, 81101A - Comparison Guide
Comparison Guide 50 MHz Pulse Generators
Compared to the Agilent model 81101A pulse generator, B&K Precision models 4033 and 4034 offer similar or better performance delivered in a very compact and lightweight package. B&K Precision provides a single channel pulse generator at almost half the price of the Agilent 81101A along with a dual channel version. Comparison Chart

Pulse Functions
Single
One pulse at each selected period up to 50MHz repetition rate
One pulse at each selected period up to 50MHz repetition rate Double pulse and delay are mutually exclusive.
Double
One pair of pulses at each period up to 25MHz repetition rate. Both pulses have the same selected width; the position of the second pulse set by the delay control.
