9530 Digital Delay/ Pulse Generator
The Model 9530 Digital Delay / Pulse Generator
represents the latest in timing and synchronizing
capabilities. With a unique 19” 1U form factor, the
model 9530 is clearly our most innovative instru-
ment to accurately synchronize any series of events.
The 9530’s eight independent outputs, dual
trigger/ gate inputs and external clock reference
input make it ideal for laser system timing
applications. The system can directly phase lock to
an external timebase up to 100 MHz in frequency
and down to 20 mV in amplitude. This allows
synching directly to a laser photodiode signal and
provides complete system timing relative to the
laser timing with low jitter. The 9530 also provides a
clock output that is capable of driving a 50 ohm
load and can be used to provide a master timebase
to other delay generators or equipment.
The core technology in precision timing of the 9530
offers 250 ps Delay & Width resolution and 50 ps
internal jitter. Ethernet / USB interface, complex
burst sequences, Divide-by-N, Setting Profiles,
Clock Divider, Pulse Picking and Negative Delays
allow users great flexibility in setting up an
experiment or synchronizing multiple events.
Complimentary NI certified LabVIEW drivers
available.
Advanced Features/Options
• Clock input/output – allows master clock input from 10
MHz to 100 MHz with complete system timing relative to
that signal with low jitter
• Field programmability–custom features, upgrades and
fixes via fully programmable FPGA
• Settings / Programming saved on front panel power
down
Channel Properties / Advanced
Programming Modes
• Multiplexing - selectively combine the timing of any or
all channels to one output
• Burst - Each channel can have a separate number
• Duty Cycle - N pulses on, M pulses off
• Channel Referencing - Any or all channels can reference
the timing of any channel rather than T0
• Wait - The system will wait for a specified number of
cycles before producing pulses
