BNC digital delay generator furnishes eight timing channels

The Model 725 digital delay generator from Berkeley Nucleonics synchronizes complicated test setups, providing eight timing channels with programmable logic, unique timing modes, and 10-ns resolution. You can use the Model 725 to synchronize cameras, lasers, shutters, choppers, solenoids, or igniters.

The generator accepts a variety of inputs, including logic signals, switches, transducers, interlocks, computer commands, and gauges. In addition to eight inputs, the Model 725 has eight outputs and eight separate timers. Each of the eight logic channels can operate independently, functioning as a clock, delayed trigger, or counter. You can use the generator’s internal clock or an external clock, as well as select the time base that each channel uses.

The Model 725 hardware controller operates in stand-alone mode or via computer control. You can use the embedded, compiled software, called timerPRO, or LabView to create control schemes. A Windows-based interface lets you program each experiment, channel by channel. In stand-alone mode, the Model 725 can store and recall up to 64 complete settings, with triggering and monitoring done from the unit’s front panel. You can design experiments offline and then embed the controller in your test environment for automated operation. Firmware is field-upgradeable, allowing access to new timing modes and capabilities as they become available.
