C400 - 4-Channel High-speed Pulse Discriminator and Counter
Mô tả
The C400 counts fast pulses generated by photomultipliers, avalanche photodiodes, and similar devices. It has four parallel channels that are configurable independent of each other. It provides high voltage bias for sensors and low voltage power for preamplifiers. Several units can measure in sync using a common trigger or encoder pulses.
Features
- Four independent channels with fast discriminators, scalers, preamp power and high voltage
- 10 nsec pulse pair resolution
- 150 MHz discriminator bandwidth
- Trigger distribution facility for large detector arrays
- Quadrature encoder input for data synchronization with goniometer
- Test pulser output for each channel
- Monitor output for each channel
Applications
- Fast scintillator readout, NaI, LaCl3 , LaBr3 and YAP crystals
- Avalanche photodiode readout
- Detector array readout for area and position sensing detectors
- Crystal diffraction experiments
Integrated High Voltage
- Avoids the need for a separate external HV supply.
- Precise programmable voltage control.
- Choice of polarity, positive or negative, and range up to 3000V depending on the product.
- Shared ground with measurement electronics to eliminate ground loops.
- Short circuit protection and redundant output voltage monitoring.
Fiber Optics
Pyramid transmits measurement data over fiber-optic cable instead of copper, keeping signals immune to electrical interference. Our radiation-hard fibers have minimal light attenuation, enabling fast, reliable messaging across enormous distances.
IG2 EPICS Support
Integrate device data collection and configuration into an EPICS system, without writing a single line of code using IG2.
- Runs on Windows and Debian Linux
- Change PV names with simple XML configuration
- Connect to multiple Pyramid devices at once
- Add custom scale factors and offsets on a PV basis
- Never have to recompile
- Professional Pyramid support for bugs and features
