The 9712 Current Pulse Generator is an ideal fire set for
airbag squib, detonator and pyrotechnics initiator testing. The instrument provides adjustable current
signals up to 25 amps through 2 digitally controlled, load resistant
independent outputs. Output pulse widths
and delays are unique to each channel and can be precisely controlled from 0.1
to 100 msec in 200 ns steps. The 9712
Current Pulse Generator also provides a TTL Sync output to T0 – particularly
useful as a reference source or trigger for cameras or other equipment.
