Product Ordering Options

The following options can be specified when ordering MicroPulse LT instruments:

Dynamic Range Expansion - DRE option
8-Channel instruments may be ordered with the DRE option. Operation is selectable for normal mode with 8 active channels or DRE enabled with 4 active channels.
