Sapphire Series Pulse Generator Datasheet
Sapphire Series Pulse Generator Information
The Sapphire Series Digital Delay Pulse Generator, with 2 or 4 independent outputs, is our most affordable digital delay pulse generator. It's ideal for applications that require moderate precision and multi-channel capability. The instrument offers a complete set of channel operating modes including continuous, single shot, burst, and duty cycle. These modes combined with external trigger/gate inputs, allows for a full range of complex output waveforms. With intuitive, streamlined GUI control of timing parameters and quick recall of up to 6 system configurations, the instrument is instantly ready for use. Complete control of the Sapphire is provided through the standard USB interface or optional Bluetooth connectivity.
