I spent a few hours dinking around with my ney pulse generator and I now understand the difference between a triggered and a gated pulse.
I also got the MHV-BNC connectors that I ordered from Allied Electronics. Attached is a pix of the MHV-BNC jack that I plan to use as the connector mounted to the PMT enclosure, for the HV power supply lead. It has a "turret Terminal" on the interior side of the connector. This is a smaller version of the connectors on the PMT preamp.
The question is are there dedicated connectors for these terminals or do I just solder the wires to them and cover them with tape or putty? I have asked around at the electronics shops and no one seems to know.

MHV BNC Connector Questions?
Re: MHV BNC Connector Questions?
At the normal operating voltages for a PMT (800-1000V), it is sufficient to make a good solid connection to the center turret terminal with no sharp solder points. If you want a little bit of added insurance (and some strain relief), use a piece of heat shrink over the connection.
