"The Model 110A Pulse Generator is a medium priced instrument for application across a very wide spectrum of laboratory and production pulse test requirements. It provides maximum control of pulse amplitude, delay, width, and transition times at outputs to +-10v and rep rates from 4 cps to 40 mc. Variable dc baseline control allows selection of versatility and independently variable, linear rise and fall times, make the Model 110A a significant addition to the DATAPULSE line of solid-state pulse instrumentation.

This manual contains general and detailed instruction for operation and maintenance of your Model 110A. A complete understanding of its contents will contribute greatly to full utilization of the broad capabilities ot this instrument." (Datapulse, Manual 110A, 1965)

BRIEF SPECS

The Datapulse 110A is the predecessor of the well-known industry standard Datapulse/Systron-Donner 110B of about 1968. I do assume that the 110A sold so well that a redesign paid off quickly. The schematics of both versions do not differ so much, but the `B´is 5 pounds less material and easier to built. There are two independent outputs for negative and positive pulses - an uncommon feature today, but then useful for testing core memory lines. Both Rutherford and Datapulse were located in Culver City for a period - were the Datapulse founders ex-Rutherford engineers?

Unfortunately the preowner changed the old round power connector to a modern european style inlet. I constructed a little sheet of aluminium with a cable gland and a fixed power cord to regain a more sixties look of the back. At the moment the instrument does not work. The positive voltage regulator is damaged and waits for repair. We'll see...
