Prices - International
Customers in Austria, China, The Czech and Slovak Republics, France, Germany, India, Japan, Korea, Switzerland, Taiwan and Turkey should contact their local representative for pricing. International prices will be somewhat higher than the USA/Canada pricing shown above, depending on local documentation requirements, customs and shipping procedures, and other regulatory issues (for example, the European WEEE directive).
Customers in other countries should contact our Canadian headquarters directly for pricing. Avtech can ship internationally by FedEx (preferred), UPS, DHL, or Bax Global.

To form a valid model number:
AVMP-2A-B
+ (select one polarity: -P, -N, -PN)
+ (recommended optional accessory kits: -AK1, -AK8)
+ (select a power cord: -AC00, -AC01, -AC02, -AC03, -AC06, -AC17, -AC18, -AC19, -AC22)
+ (other possible options: -EA, -ECL, -EO, -M, -OT, -R5, -TNT, -X1, -X2, -X4)Some options may not be available with all formats (see the table above), and some combinations of options may not be available together. See the data sheet for details.
Our online Model Number Checker tool can be used to validate model numbers.
Please note that the -EW, -EO, and -ED options are not normally recommended for -B units, because they provide remote analog control of the related parameter. The -B units include remote digital control as a standard feature, through the IEEE-488.2 GPIB and RS-232 interfaces.

Export Controls
Some or all of the models in the AVMP-2A product family have rise times of 500 ps or less, and amplitudes of 6V or more. Due to government policy and international treaty obligations, these models are not available for sale to India, Pakistan, and other nations that are not signatories of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
