F100 - Digital Electrometer with HV Power Supply
Mô tả
The F100 measures currents from nA to mA from an external detector. For example Faraday cups, ion chambers, beam position monitors, or photodiodes.
The primary application is real-time dosimetry for particle therapy. The F100 integrates current into a total charge. It generates a monitor pulse for each defined aliquot of total charge. After the total charge reaches a predetermined target its digital logic output triggers. This digital output connects up to a beam command or pneumatic actuator. The unit could be stand-alone or integrated into a larger control system.
The F100 can use an auxiliary high-voltage output up to 2kV. The source is suitable for electrical suppression of secondary electrons in Faraday cups like the BC-75.

- 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
