SPECIFICATIONS The AP-Ser ies Portanims are attract ive, compact, portable NIM
compatible bins with sel f-contained power suppl ies. The Model
AP-3 replaces both the Model AP-1 and AP-2H. The Model AP-3
can hold s ix s ingles or combinat ions of larger module s izes
equivalent to s ix.
Por tan ims are aesthet ica l l y des igned to g ive a f in ished and
pleasing benchtop instrument appearance to plug-in modules. They
can be used for BNC modular digi ta l delay generators, t r igger pulse
ampl i f iers, pulse generators, programming interfaces and the NIM-
style plug-in instruments of other manufacturers. The units provide
signi f icant savings in cost, space and weight over standard 12-
width N IM b in / power supp l ies when ins t rumenta t ion se tups
consist ing of only one or several modules are needed.
Power combinat ions of ±6 V, ±12 V and ±24 V are avai lable in the
Model AP-3. AC 117 V power for modules that may require i t is a lso
provided. The suppl ies conform to the specif icat ions of AEC report
TID-20893 (Rev. 3) except for maximum current rat ings, s ince they
hold fewer modules.
The AP-Ser ies Portanims can be handi ly carr ied about in the
laboratory or f ie ld. Each model can be set down on i ts back or
bottom. A foldout bale al lows t i l t ing up on the bench and the sturdy
carry ing handle swings out of the way when not in use. A covered
compartment at the rear a l lows storage for l ine cord, s ignal cables,
etc. , and gives access to instruments rear panel controls.
I f future needs may involve instal l ing unforeseen modules, gett ing
the AP-3, with i ts fu l l complement of s ix DC outputs, wi l l assure
accommodating any other NIM-type instruments.
BNC-blue painted blank panels are avai lable to cover unused
module cavit ies. The part numbers are: Single-width P/N 6823;
Double-width P/N 6824; Tr iple-width P/N 6826. Empty modules in
var ious s izes are avai lable for OEMs or others who wish to design

can hold s ix s ingles or combinat ions of larger module s izes
equivalent to s ix.
Por tan ims are aesthet ica l l y des igned to g ive a f in ished and
pleasing benchtop instrument appearance to plug-in modules. They
can be used for BNC modular digi ta l delay generators, t r igger pulse
ampl i f iers, pulse generators, programming interfaces and the NIM-
style plug-in instruments of other manufacturers. The units provide
signi f icant savings in cost, space and weight over standard 12-
width N IM b in / power supp l ies when ins t rumenta t ion se tups
consist ing of only one or several modules are needed.
Power combinat ions of ±6 V, ±12 V and ±24 V are avai lable in the
Model AP-3. AC 117 V power for modules that may require i t is a lso
provided. The suppl ies conform to the specif icat ions of AEC report
TID-20893 (Rev. 3) except for maximum current rat ings, s ince they
hold fewer modules.
The AP-Ser ies Portanims can be handi ly carr ied about in the
laboratory or f ie ld. Each model can be set down on i ts back or
bottom. A foldout bale al lows t i l t ing up on the bench and the sturdy
carry ing handle swings out of the way when not in use. A covered
compartment at the rear a l lows storage for l ine cord, s ignal cables,
etc. , and gives access to instruments rear panel controls.
I f future needs may involve instal l ing unforeseen modules, gett ing
the AP-3, with i ts fu l l complement of s ix DC outputs, wi l l assure
accommodating any other NIM-type instruments.
BNC-blue painted blank panels are avai lable to cover unused
module cavit ies. The part numbers are: Single-width P/N 6823;
Double-width P/N 6824; Tr iple-width P/N 6826. Empty modules in
