GFT1008 Product Picture

4/8/12/16 Channel Digital Delay Generator

A high-precision digital delay generator delivering up to sixteen independent, picosecond-accurate outputs for advanced synchronization tasks.

Designed for applications requiring sub-10 ps jitter and 1 ps delay resolution, the GFT1008 offers adjustable pulse width and amplitude on every channel. It operates as a standalone unit or within a fiber-linked timing network, with full local and remote control via front panel, Ethernet, or integrated web interface.

Product Details:

The GTF1008 Digital Delay Generator provides eight independently delayed pulses on the rear panel with options for four, twelve or sixteen channels. Delays up to 10 seconds can be programmed with 1 ps resolution, and channel-to-channel jitter is less than 10 ps RMS. BNC outputs deliver up to 10 V, 1 ns under 50 Ω. Pulse amplitude and width are adjustable on each output channel.

One input channel, or two internal synchronized timers are used to trigger all output channels. One T0 channel is used as a time reference for all the delayed output pulses.

The GFT1008 is a Digital Delay Generator that operates either as a standalone device, or as a component in a timing system (Option 2). In a timing system (see below), the GFT1008 is operated in conjunction with a Master Transmitter that controls and synchronizes a number of GFT1008 DDGs via optical fibers.

GFT1008 parameters can be locally controlled over the front panel keys and LCD display, and remotely controlled via Ethernet (10/100/1000 Mb/s) or Internet (web page from internal web server).
