Pulse synchronization module with delay generator is designed to create up to 8 delayed output pulse sequences precisely synchronized to internal or external clock. The SY4000 module is a timing generator dedicated to the synchronization of laser components: AOM drivers, Pockels cell drivers, laser diode and flash lamp drivers, detectors, data acquisition systems, etc.

Photo detector or electrical signal can be used as input source to be synchronized with. Generator gives possibility to create different sequences like delayed triggering, or any delayed precisely timed series. Particularly, Ekspla recommend using SY4000 to create sets of pulses to control PCD-UHR series pockels cell drivers with one, two or 4 triggering inputs.

Encased Version

Preserves all specifications as SY4000 in additionally communication ports RS232, USB, LAN, WLAN are added. Powering from mains 90 … 264 V, 50 – 60 Hz or 12 V DC. Power consumption less than 15 W. Ideal solution for your lab and/or evaluation before switching to OEM version.
