Test & Measurement: Digital Delay Generator Cuts Response Time To 100 ms

A firmware upgrade to the Model 555 digital delay generator slashes the device's response time for signals on both GPIB and RS232 interfaces by a factor of 10 to less than 100 ms. Users now can fine-tune their delaying, gating, and triggering tasks on-the-fly in real time for increased accuracy and substantially improved performance. The V1.20 firmware can be downloaded directly from the company's Web site at no charge. The generator costs from $1770 to $4009, based on the platform used and the number of channels involved.
