The Quantum Composers 9200+ Sapphire Series Pulse Generator is a highly compact and cost-effective digital delay generator. It is designed to allow synchronisation and manipulation of timing in complex experimental setups.
The Sapphire Plus is an upgrade to the standard Sapphire. With this enhanced version, you will have better performance and higher specifications. This unit is perfect for those on a budget but looking for more precise resolution and jitter.
The Quantum Composers Sapphire+ series is a compact, cost effective delay generator capable of producing precisely timed electronic signals. These electronic signals can serve as a master clock source or trigger for experiments where a large number of actions must be synchronised in time. For each channel output, the signal width, delay and amplitude can be varied, allowing the user a huge amount of control.
