Abstract
This paper describes the requirements, methods, and the apparatus developed to determine the PCSS minimum electro-optical requirements for optimal HVS triggering. Specific current and voltage waveforms obtained from the sub-systems will be discussed along with the parameters adjusted to deliver a range of pulse widths, rise times, and energies to the HVS.
