The Quantum Composers 9420 series is a digital 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.
