Timing Electronics
Our lineup of timing electronics ranges from a small FPGA based trigger box to a highly versatile delay generator. To amplify weak photodiode signals for synchronisation we have a resonant Poeamplifier in our linup as well. To delay a trigger signal by the use of an analog signal a timeshifter can be used.

Delay Generator
The delay generator is one of the key elements in experimental physics as it synchronizes different events of an experiment. For remote control of the delay generator it can be inserted into any PC ranging from small Box-PC to large 19” industrial PC to be controlled either locally by our application program BME_G0x.exe, or remote by sending ASCII commands via the Ethernet. Using these ASCII commands our delay generator has been integrated with EPICS into large accelerator systems.
Splitterbox
The splitterbox is a small FPGA-based timing board which helps to prevent false triggering conditions and correct them if possible. A number of functions for a large range of applications has been implemented.
Preamplifier
The BME-P3 or BME-P8 preamplifier are small resonant amplifiers used to boost weak photodiode signals to levels suitable as external clock signal for the delay generator. The BME-P3 is built into a tiny aluminum box (80x55x25mm³) while the BME-P8 is a small board which can be built directly into an open PCI slot.
Timeshifter
The timeshifter is a small device used to delay up to four triggersignals by the use of up to four analog control signals. The polarity of the voltage vs. delay function can be selected.
