The GFT9404 brings high-precision timing to the PXI platform, offering eight independent delay channels in a compact 3U single-slot module. With four high-resolution channels featuring 1 ps resolution and four auxiliary channels, it provides the versatility needed for complex synchronization tasks in picosecond laser systems and automated test environments.
The GFT9404 has channel-to-channel jitter of 25 ps RMS. Each high-resolution output is fully adjustable, providing 2 to 5 V pulses into 50 Ω with rise times under 2 ns, ensuring clean and reliable triggering even for the most sensitive diagnostic equipment.
Designed for seamless PXI integration, the module can be triggered via external inputs, its internal frequency generator, soft commands, or the PXI STAR trigger bus. This flexibility allows engineers to coordinate timing across multiple PXI modules or external hardware with ease.
Rounding out its performance is a massive 20-second delay range and a user-friendly Windows control panel for real-time configuration of pulse widths and amplitudes. This makes the GFT9404 a robust and efficient solution for high-speed physics research and industrial timing applications.
