Abstract :
We present a very precise and stable pulse generator which serve to calibrate an array of large mass bolometric detectors for a very long time data taking. The realized instrument is characterized by the presence of multi-outputs and is completely programmable in pulse width and amplitude. Triggering is allowed with a dedicated line. Although featuring ppm/°C stability, it was realized exploiting commercial devices, obtaining a very cheaper solution.
