Timing Generator Pulses and Sequences

Pulse Set

Description

A pulse set includes the following signals: MCP_GATE, START, STOP, AUX1, and
SyncMASTER. START and STOP define the photocathode gate pulse. See Figure 44.
Note: MCP GATE, START, and STOP are not visible to the user and are included for
information purposes only.
The EXPOSE signal remains high for the duration of the pulse set and goes low upon
approximately 15 ns after pulse completion.

Supported Timing Generator Trigger Modes:

Trigger per Pulse: The pulse set is initiated by its own trigger (either internal or
external). See Figure 45.
Supported Trigger Sources are:

Source 1: Timing Generator internal trigger. A pulse set is initiated by the timing
generator's internal trigger.

Source 2: External Trigger (on TRIGGER IN BNC). A pulse set is initiated by an
external trigger.
