The document provides a comparison of pulse generators (models 9600+, 9500+, 9520, and 9530) detailing specifications such as pulse generation channels, resolution, accuracy, and jitter. It outlines the features and performance metrics including memory storage, internal rate generator modes, external clock capabilities, and output channel attributes. Key parameters like insertion delays and amplitude settings are also specified for each model.
