The GFT1008 provides high-precision timing control in a versatile 1U rackmount chassis, offering eight independent delay channels that are expandable up to 16. With an impressive 1 ps time resolution and channel-to-channel jitter of less than 10 ps RMS, it is an ideal solution for researchers requiring extreme synchronization for laser systems, automated test equipment, and high-speed imaging.
Each channel offers independent control over delay, pulse width, amplitude, and polarity, with outputs capable of delivering up to 10 V and 1 ns rise times.See below the specifications of all drivers:
