Ah, I was referring to the TTi units. Hooking up a 555 to USB power would technically be hooking it up to a computer, but not quite what I meant. ;D

I'm not at all sure that I'm understanding you with this one, the TF930 has a USB port but that is just another option for providing portable power, the TGP110 is purely 240v driven and neither of them has a GPIB connector, so in what way was you thinking of computer linking them?

I'm not really sure why I would want a pulse generator; any of the pulses I would want would be more conveniently generated by a pattern generator.
Having said that, I recently picked a Tek 115 up for £5, and that does one thing a pattern generator won't: have (independently) variable rise and fall times. Mind you, neither does that TTI.
The Tek 115 is remarkably versatile, being able to generate double pulse and, with an external signal triggered bursts. The TTI doesn't look like it does that either.
Example, with equal rise/fall times:
Ob porn: the front panel showing rise and fall time controls, and one interior shot showing old-school wiring looks and, if you look closely on the left, 863pF, 908pF and 9.85nF capacitors.

The USB port is not just for power. :) The TF930 is SCPI enabled, even though it uses a shorthand dialect. You can control all its functions through a PC.

That's a thing of beauty! :-+
Another xfce user I see as well :D
