Considering how programmable the pulses are, I am impressed by how clean the pulses are. The adjustments are entirely independent down to ns.

Found them great for measuring the length of a coax cable with an oscilloscope.

I have a PG508 that I need to repair....no time to get it done. I am too busy watching your videos 🙂

I have an FG504 which is similar to the PG508. One thing I've been able to use it for is to lock to harmonics of the trigger input. It's not advertised to do this and is a little tricky to get the levels right but it locks very well.

Your oscilloscope is very dusty and shows up well in the video. ;-)

Lol, I almost bought that lot. I didn’t need the frame but was considering it just for the plugins.
