Provides eight independent synchronised outputs, rather than the one output from typical pulse generators, and up to 16 digital delay generator edges in one instrument
Now available from Southern Scientific is the model 565 from Berkeley Nucleonics (BNC) which, it says, sets new standards in digital delay and pulse generator technology.
The 565 provides eight independent synchronised outputs, rather than the one output from typical pulse generators, and up to 16 digital delay generator edges in one instrument.
This functionality eliminates the need to combine several instruments to gate, trigger, delay and time multiple devices.
As a pulse generator, it is rate, delay, width and output adjustable over all channels and as a digital delay generator with fine resolution timing, it provides multiple pulses from an external, internal or software trigger.
The outputs are synchronised to one another with a coherence of 250ps and 5ns respectively.
A channel's timing can be referenced to any other channel or to To, the zero delay point.
These edges are adjustable in 500ps steps or 100ns respectively.
Channels can be selectively gated and enabled or disabled and a burst mode allows an independent number of bursts for any channel.
The 565 also allows combining the timing of several channels on to any other channel to generate complex barcodes and control signals.
Each channel possesses separate output level and polarity characteristics with USB, GPIB and/or RS232 programming plus the ability to store several complete sets of parameter settings for future recall.
