Digital Delay/Pulse Generator Delivers Accurate Synchronization

Sporting a 19" 1U form factor, the Model 9530 digital-delay and pulse generator provides eight independent outputs, dual trigger/gate inputs, and an external clock reference input, making it viable for laser system timing applications. The unit can directly phase lock to an external time-base frequency up to 100 MHz and down to 20 mV in amplitude. Its clock output is capable of driving a 50-Ohm load and can provide a master time base to other delay generators or related equipment. Other features include a 250-pS delay-and-width resolution, 200-pS internal jitter, rate generator with a 10-ns period resolution over the entire frequency range (20 MHz), 12 memory storage slots, and RS-232, USB, and Ethernet interfaces. Base price is $5,160 and a dual-trigger option costs $170. QUANTUM COMPOSERS INC., Bozeman, MT. (800) 510-6530.
