8-Channel Programmable Experiment Controller

The LC880 Programmable Experiment Controller provides synchronization, integration and control of complex physical experiments. The system combines eight channels of 10-nanosecond resolution timing functions with fully programmable channel triggering logic. It features eight timing processors that serve as digital delays (8 microseconds to over 1000 seconds), counters, inverters, clocks and other basic functions, with 10 nanosecond resolution and 100 picosecond accuracy. Dynamic timing captures elusive phenomena in such applications as gas dynamics and ballistics. Noise suppression tames noisy signals without distortion, to avoid false triggering in harsh environments. Programmable channel logic enables triggering based upon any combination of the eight external inputs and/or channel outputs. A Windows®-based; interface facilitates programming, monitoring, and recording of each experiment.
