GENERAL INFORMATION

Presentation
The Mini Pulse & Delay Generator provides up to 8 independent delayed pulses at up to 50 MHz. The model Model 750 is available in 4 channels (base version) or 8 channels as an option. The form factor is a mini box.
Delays up to 100 seconds can be programmed with 100 ps resolution and channel- to-channel jitter less than 50 ps RMS.
SMB outputs deliver 1.5 V to 5 V, 1 ns rise time pulses, into 50 Ω. Pulse amplitude, polarity, burst count, and width are adjustable on each output channel.
The model Model 750 offers two inputs and three (3) internal synchronized Timers (adjustable from 0.01 Hz to 50 MHz) and one software command for triggering all selected delay channels. Any trigger rate may be set as one- shot or repetitive. Thus, the Model 750 with its multi-trigger system, can be considered as 4 independent generators in a single box (see example below).

The generator uses an internal 100 MHz TCXO clock reference, or an external, user programmable (from 10 MHz to 240 MHz) clock (sine or square).
The pulse and delay generator parameters can be easily controlled remotely via Internet, standard PC browser, or controlled remotely via USB to UART or Ethernet.

Instrument Options

Installation

Package Contents
The box you receive should contain the following:

• Pulse & Delay Generator
• AC /DC compact power supply and power cord
• USB and Ethernet cables
• USB stick containing pdf User Manual.
• Certificate of calibration

Unpacking Caution
The Model 750 is shipped in an antistatic package to prevent electrostatic damage to the device. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage several components on the device. Remove the device from the package and inspect the device for loose components or any sign of damage. Notify Berkeley Nucleonics Corporation if the device appears damaged in any way.
Power source
The supplied power supply operates from 80 V to 264 V AC, with a frequency range from 47 Hz to 63 Hz, and delivers a voltage of +5 V DC under 4 A max.
Important: this power supply is internally earthed (outer plug connected to earth) to avoid any hazardous potential on the different metal parts of the case. Do not replace it with a model from another reference.
To avoid any damage of the device, do not apply any voltage to either the shield or the outputs.
Power cord
The Model 750 comes with a removable power cord for European or US usage. It has a three- contact plug for connection to both the power source and protective ground.

Operating temperature

The Model 750 can be operated where the ambient air temperature is 10°C to 35°C and can be stored in ambient temperature from -10°C to +60°C. The Model 750 is cooled by air circulation.

Power On & Self-test
After connecting the power supply, all the LEDs on the front panel must be off.

• To switch ON the device, briefly press the front panel ON/OFF button (same as RUN/STOP function), TRIG, T1 to T4 and Lock LEDs should light up briefly, TRIG to T3 LEDs should blink for a few seconds, and then turn off. The ON/OFF button should light yellow (STOP state). The device is ready when the Lock LED lights green (internal system clock is locked).
• To switch OFF the device, press the ON/OFF button for more than 5 s.
  All LEDs should turn off.

Auto power On : For specific applications (system, OEM…) an “auto-power On” is available (see § Auto RUN & auto POWER).

Applications

• System Laser Timing Control
• ATE Application
• Laser Pulse Picking
• Precision Pulse Application
• Instrument Triggering
• Components Test

Application example: The Model 750 is well suited to synchronize all the devices of a Picosecond Laser system with only one compact unit and one GUI. In this application the “Clock reference input” of the pulse and delay generator receives a signal (80 MHz for example) from the laser oscillator via an O/E (optical-to-electrical converter).
From the Model 750 Generator each amplifier (Pump-laser, Q-switch, Pockel cell…) or diagnostic instrument (Digitizer, Calorimeter, CCD camera…) can receive repetitive or single pulses (adjusted in rate, delay, amplitude, polarity, and width) synchronized on “Clock reference input” with a very low jitter.

OPERATING INFORMATION

Operating Principles
Block diagram of the generator

Time base: This function provides a 200 MHz time base from an internal reference or an external 10 MHz to 240 MHz reference.
Trigger controller: This function provides 2 Trigger Modes, – External Trigger Mode: In this mode, a rising edge on input “Trigger input” triggers all delay channels. Every channel trigger rate can be single or repetitive or inhibited.
A Prescaler may be used to divide the Trigger Input frequency by integer value from 1 to 1 000 000 000.

• Internal Trigger Mode : In this mode, delay channels can be triggered from 3 frequency programmable Timers. Every channel trigger rate can be single or repetitive or burst or inhibited.
  “Gate Input” quickly inhibits all or selected channel Outputs. This input function can be selected as a second External Trigger.
  The six (6) Trigger sources that are possible for each channel are presented below.

Delay Channel: They are 4 independent delay channels (or 8 as an option). The delay from the selected trigger source is programmable up to 100 seconds in 100 ps increments.

Channel Output
Each delayed output pulse T1 to T4 (and T5 to T8 as an option) is independently adjustable in level (1.5 V to 5 V in 10 mV steps), width (10 ns to 10 s in 5 ns steps), and polarity, and may be Or’ed to all other outputs. The outputs are designed to drive 50 Ω load. On “high impedance” load, output level will be double the selected value.
Interface Controller: This element manages internal functions and user interface. All the parameters can be remotely controlled via USB-to-UART and Ethernet (10/100 Mb/s). All parameter values are automatically saved.

• Four “GPIO” lines under software command allow control of other devices.

Delay Jitter & Accuracy Notes
Jitter is the delay uncertainty of the channel output edge between successive triggers. The jitter specification is valid for an observation period up to 10 seconds.
Jitter is measured in RMS picoseconds (ps).

Delay accuracy is the difference between the programmed value and the measured value. One channel programmed with delay = 0 is the reference of measurement. The accuracy is the average of 1000 measurements at rate of 1 kHz. Accuracy is measured in picoseconds.

Typical channel-to-channel delay accuracy versus delay in ps (Red indicates max accuracy = 500 ps + delay x 10-7)

Maximum rate and width versus Model 4C or 8C
Because the power consumption per bank of two channels (T1-T2 or T3-T4 or …) is limited, there are some limitations on trigger rate and pulse width.
These limitations are automatically controlled before a RUN or each time you change a setting during a RUN. If some settings are not allowed, then the local GUI displays a message (see example below).

Maximum allowed with Model 4C:

• Per bank, if the Rate of one channel is > 1 MHz, then the rate of the other channel must be ≤ 1 MHz
  Note: so at most, you may have only 2 channels at 50 MHz or > 1 MHz

• Per bank, if the polarity of one channel is negative, then the polarity of the other channel must be positive

• Per bank, if the width of one channel is >10 ms, then the width of the other channel must be <10 ms

Note: If the amplitude of all channels is ≤ 2.5 V (TTL level) there is no rate limitation

Maximum allowed with Model 8C:

• Per bank, if the Rate of one channel is > 1 MHz, then the rate of the other channel must be ≤ 1 MHz
  Note: so at most, you may have only 4 channels at 50 MHz or > 1 MHz

• Per bank, if the polarity of one channel is negative, then the polarity of the other channel must be positive

• Per bank, if the width of one channel is >10 ms, then the width of the other channel must be <10 ms

Example of configuration error

Automatic monitoring of operating limits
Maximum allowed consumption, internal temperature, and minimum power supply level of the unit are permanently controlled by the embedded software. All three values are displayed in the lower part of the graphical interface.

Caution: if one of these values is at allowed maximum, then the overload indicator on the GUI turns on and the instrument automatically goes into a STOP state.
When there is an overload, try to reduce the trigger rate below 1 MHz to suppress it, and click on the “click to clear” indicator to turn off the overload indicator.

Example of overload GUI

Front and Rear panel Overview

Front panel indicators
On the front panel, up to 7 separate LED indicators inform the user in real time if I/O or functions are running. The description of each LED indicator is as follows:

• TRIG: Indicates that external triggered mode is active (blinks at trigger recurrence)
• Output Channel T1 to T4: Indicates which channels are enabled (blinks at channel recurrence)
• RUN / STOP:  ndicates if the unit is powered, yellow when in STOP state, green when in RUN state
• Comm: Indicates that there is traffic over USB
• Ext ClK: I ndicates the unit is running on External Clock
• Lock: Indicates that the internal clock System is locked

Note: The RUN / STOP button is used for two functions: Power ON / OFF for the unit or RUN / STOP the trigger system.

• A short press is needed to RUN or STOP the equipment.
• The button needs to be pressed and held for approximately 5 seconds in order to power off the equipment.

Rear panel indicators

On the rear panel, up to 4 separate LED indicators inform the user in real time if a function is running.

• GATE: Indicates that input Gate is active (blinks at Gate recurrence)
• Over current: Indicates that the maximum allowed current has been reached
• USB link : Indicates that a USB connection is established
• Ext DC: Indicates that the Model 750 is powered by the +5 V / DC input

Notes:

• A standard USB connector provides power to the unit as well as communication.
• When powered from the USB, note that the maximum allowed current may belimited to a lower value (500 mA) which can lead to limitations (lower output workrate, only basic configuration supported…)
• A grounding screw is available

• Click “STOP” on the control panel web page to end pulses The T1 indicator stops blinking

Remote Control

There are two ways to control the generator: the easy remote way via Internet or the general remote way via Ethernet and USB software application (see Programming section for command and examples).

Easy remote wa y via Internet and control panel web pages.
The web page, from the embedded Web server, provides an easy method to configure settings.

• A Main menu allows display and control of
• Trigger and clock system (trigger level, pre-scaler, clock input/output, triggergenerators)
• Delay channel (Trigger source, trigger rate, delay, amplitude/width/polarity ofchannel output pulse)
• Extended delay channel settings (burst mode, gate and MUX mode)
• RUN button initiates the delay channel output pulse (similar to gate function, butonly for the outputs that are not set in the OFF state)
• Trigger button may be used to enable a single trigger (synchronized with the triggersource) only on channels set in “single rate”. If trigger source = Manual, then thetrigger is immediately executed.
• Status Indicators indicate several critical parameters
• An Extended setup allows specific adjustment of delay channel settings (burstmode, gate and MUX mode)
• A Parameters page allows you to change the IP address and configure specificparameters
• A GPIO page allows you to configure I/O lines

The configuration information (all settings) of the instrument is stored and saved in the Model 750. The web page can be opened via Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, or Chrome. After connecting a cable from the Model 750 Ethernet port to your computer network, enter the Model 750 IP address into your PC’s browser (the IP address can be identified in § IP address).
