The GFT1018 8-Channel Slave Delay Generator is engineered for large-scale timing systems that require high-density channel counts and ultra-precise synchronization. Operating as a slave unit within a master timing network, it receives an optical data stream to deliver eight independent pulses with 1 ps resolution and a expansive 1-second delay range. This makes it an ideal solution for synchronizing multiple diagnostic instruments across expansive research facilities.
Reliability is at the core of the GFT1018, featuring a channel-to-channel jitter of less than 100 ps RMS and excellent long-term stability for multi-day experiments. Each BNC output can deliver up to 10 V into 50 Ω with a rapid rise time of less than 1 ns. For versatile integration, the unit also offers an optional SC/PC optical output, allowing for seamless communication in fiber-based architectures.
The generator provides flexible triggering through internal timing, external electrical signals, or the dedicated optical timing system input. With its 1U 19-inch rack-mount enclosure, the GFT1018 is designed to maximize space while providing robust connectivity via Ethernet and a built-in web server for remote management.
Key hardware highlights include 1 ps delay resolution, 10 V pulse amplitudes, professional SC/APC optical synchronization inputs, and less than 1 ns rise times. These specs ensure that engineers and researchers have the high-speed, high-voltage, and high-precision timing necessary for the most demanding applications.
