User's Manual - MODEL 745-20C NUT 063 Ed. 2.2 September 2015 Edition Written by : Date & Visa : D. MONNIER-BOURDIN Technical manager Edition Date Description January 2014 Creation October 2014 Operating description updates April 2015 Minor correction September 2015...
Delays up to 10 seconds may be programmed with 100ps resolution (1ps optional) and a channel to channel jitter of less than 50 ps RMS. BNC outputs deliver delayed pulses with adjustable level (3 to 6V) and width into 50Ω load. A polarity control allows to have inverted pulses.
September 2015 1.2. Principle – Block diagram The principle of the MODEL 745-20C programmable delay generator is described in the figure bellow. The sequence follows 3 phases: 1) After an insertion delay, a reference pulse appear at the “T0” output, 2) Following the reference, a pulse is generated on each channel after the specified delay, 3) At the end of the sequence, after last delayed pulse outputs, the delay generators are initiate.
The MODEL 745-20C can be operated where the ambient air temperature is 0°C to 35°C and can be stored in ambient temperature from - 10°C to + 60°C. The MODEL 745-20C is cooled by air circulation. To prevent instrument damage a clearance of 2 inches on the side and 1 inch on the rear must be maintained for proper cooling.
The MODEL 745-20C front panel is depicted in the following figure. 4.1.1. Local interface The MODEL 745-20C is equipped with a touch screen (option) on the front panel for local operation. 4.1.2. AUX 1 to 3 The three BNC connectors located on the front panel are used for extension to 40 channels. They are unused in the MODEL 745-20C version.
4.2.1. Power switch The unit is turned ON by switching the red button located above the mains connector. The MODEL 745-20C can be operated from 90 to 240 V at a line frequency of 50 – 60 Hz. 4.2.2. Ethernet port (LAN) The “LAN”...
