The Quantum Composers 8500 Series Board Level Pulse Generator is a highly compact OEM digital delay generator designed to allow synchronisation and manipulation of timing in complex experimental setups.
The Quantum Composers 8500 Series Board Level Pulse Generator is a highly compact OEM digital delay generator designed to allow synchronisation and manipulation of timing in complex experimental setups.
The Quantum Composers 8500 series is a compact, OEM 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.
