specifically for helical machines and are different creatures. Probably
the most common were several models made by 3M (Mincom), the P-50 and the
P-100. The P-50 was the simpler of the two and was also later sold by
Pesa. The P-100 was modular and so could be configured as a Proc Amp, a
DOC or both, with or without AGC and pulse outputs among other
options.</font></div><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888">

<div>The quick answer is that you have three different versions that were
designed for three different types of installations.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I will get my books out and look for the exact information but here is
the short answer.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The basic unit is used for any type of situation where a proc amp is
used.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The one with the external reference is for use in a production /
editing room on the output of a switcher to provide a constant sub-carrier
to horizontal sync phase relationship.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The one with the linearity corrector is designed for use at a
transmitter to correct any linearity errors in the transmitter. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>What is the application that you intend for the unit?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>There were also several different types of frames. So how about a
picture of the back and the modules when you get down to deciding what you
want to do.</div>

<div>There are many variations on the theme. The 3240 is modular
system that had a number of options available. Tell us what
boards are in what slots. I can fill you in on how to make it
work. I was a GVG sales support engineer for a number of
years and am familiar with the product. I also used them in a
number of post suites. So which modules have you got, etc.</div>
