8510 Pulse Generator
Description
The Model 8510 Series Digital Delay Pulse Generator Board offers 2, 4 or 8 independent outputs and is designed to provide cutting edge, yet cost-effective solutions to generate and synchronize multiple pulses for a variety of applications. The delay and pulse width for each channel are independent and digitally controlled which makes the instrument ideal for situations that require synchronizing a number of different events. Flexible operating modes allow complete control of pulse outputs, including continuous, duty cycle, burst and single shot with external trigger/gate. More advance features such as multiplexing allow the timing of all or several channels to be combined for complex pulse patterns. For automated test equipment, complete control of the instrument can be added to provide RS232, USB and GPIB Interface or Ethernet. Full board integration and support is provided.
Key Features 1 ns timing resolution < 400 ps jitter Independent control of width and delay 2, 4 or 8 channels Optional communication interfaces 12 separate user storage configurations Advanced programming – Multiplexing, Channel Referencing, Burst, Wait, Duty Cycle, more… |

8530 Pulse Generator
Description
The Model 8530 Digital Delay / Pulse Generator represents the latest in timing and synchronizing capabilities. The 8530’s eight independent outputs, dual trigger/gate inputs and external clock reference input make it ideal for laser system timing applications. The system can directly phase lock to an external timebase up to 100 MHz in frequency and down to 20 mV in amplitude. This allows synching directly to a laser photodiode signal and provides complete system timing relative to the laser timing with low jitter. The 8530 also provides a Clock Output that is capable of driving a 50 ohm load and can be used to provide a master timebase to other delay generators or equipment.
The core technology in precision timing of the 9530 offers 250 ps Delay & Width resolution and 50 ps internal jitter. Optional Ethernet / USB interface, complex burst sequences, Divideby- N, Setting Profiles, Dual Triggers, Clock Divider, Pulse Picking and Negative Delays allow users great flexibility in setting up an experiment or synchronizing multiple events. Full board integration and support is provided.
Key Features 250 ps timing resolution 50 ps jitter 4 or 8 fully independent outputs Internal rate generator – 10 ns period resolution over entire frequency range (20 MHz) Provides 12 memory storage slots Optional Remote programmability – RS232, USB and Ethernet Dual inputs (gate and/or trigger) |

8510 Series Options:
I-Pulse Increment Option for the 9520 Series
The (I) increment modes for the 9520 series Pulse Generators are a pair of special modes which allows the delay and width of each channel to be incremented at the end of a burst of pulses.
8530 Series Options:
TZ50 - 50 Ohm Output Module
The TZ50 option allows a user to have a 50 ohm load on the output while maintaining an output amplitude of at least 4 Volts while in the TTL/CMOS mode.
DT15 - Dual Trigger Input
The DT15 module option allows the Gate input to double as a second trigger input.
I-Pulse Increment Option for the 9520 Series
The (I) increment modes for the 9520 series Pulse Generators are a pair of special modes which allows the delay and width of each channel to be incremented at the end of a burst of pulses.
