The Elgar 400A is a plug-in oscillator module designed for use with Elgar AC Power Sources. It provides a stable input frequency signal, enabling precise control over the output of the associated power source. The 400A is specifically designed to allow an external source, such as an arbitrary waveform generator, to provide the waveform input to the power source.
### Key Features and Technical Details
**Functionality:**
* **External Waveform Input:** The primary function of the 400A is to accept an external waveform input signal, typically from an arbitrary waveform generator (AWG). This allows for sophisticated testing scenarios where custom or complex waveforms are required.
* **Signal Routing:** It acts as a signal routing plug-in, enabling the proper signal from an external source to be directed to the Elgar power source.
**Compatibility:**
* **Elgar Power Sources:** Designed exclusively for integration with Elgar Series 400 power sources.
* **External Signal Source:** Compatible with arbitrary waveform generators or other signal sources capable of providing a suitable drive signal.
**Electrical Characteristics:**
* **Input Signal:** Features a mini-phone jack for connecting an external drive signal.
* **Power Draw:** Draws operating power from the Elgar Power Source it is plugged into.
* **Output Control:** The amplitude of the output signal is controlled by the AMPLITUDE control on the front panel of the associated Elgar Power Source.
**Physical Characteristics:**
* **Form Factor:** A plug-in enclosure designed to be inserted into a dedicated slot on the front panel of an Elgar Power Source.
* **Installation:** Installs by plugging into the provided space on the power source front panel and securing with captive screws.
**Operation:**
* **Frequency and Amplitude:** While the 400A facilitates external waveform input, the overall output frequency and amplitude are governed by the connected Elgar Power Source and its controls.
