P788x Series, Ultra-Fast Multi-Hit Multiscaler/Time-Of-Flight Modules

p7889mcs.gif
Designed to sort incoming digital counts received at the STOP inputs, relative to the signal at the START input (reference) for applications requiring time-resolved single event counting. Significantly, these boards feature ZERO interbin dead time (and zero end of sweep deadtime in an internal trigger mode) and read out only time bins that contain an actual count, thus offering faster sweep repetition rates, especially for those applications with relatively sparse data points, and have effectively increased the upper limit for single-ion or single-photon time-resolved counting applications.

These PC-based cards require a 32-bit Windows-based operating system (Window 98 or later, Windows XP recommended) and a motherboard/case combination that will accommodate full length (~13.7") PC expansion cards. A maximum of four cards may be operated in a single host PC. Optional software to operate under a LINUX operating system is available. And all cards included the appropriate input cables (~ 2m in length) and MCDWIN operating software. See individual data sheets for more details and specific features. See the Host PC Selection Guide  for details regarding computer compatibility of these cards, not all PC's are compatible.

Options, P788x Series
32-bit Windows based DLL Function Library Kits and LINUX drivers for the P788x Series enable control of P788x boards from external applications, including transfer of data. The programmers kit requires some programming expertise.

 Options
 Model  Description
 P788xDLL32  DLL for LabVIEW / "C" / Visual Basic for P788x Series. Specify P788x model.
 P788xLINUX  LINUX driver for P7887, P7888, P7889. Specify P788x Model.
 MCA3LINUX  LINUX driver for MCA-3 Series/P7882.
 MCDWIN/LAN  Windows Remote Network Control of MCDWIN via RS232 or TCP/IP protocol.

Option OV: Oven-stabilized crystal oscillator in place of the standard oscillator (higher longer-term stability) improves bin-to-bin stability for time ranges longer than about 1 millisecond. See the  P788x Oscillator Selection Guide for details.

 P788x OV  Option oven controlled oscillator for P7887, P7888, P7889
 P7889 RC  Rubidium Frequency Standard (10 MHz oscillator) for P7889

Preamps suitable for use with P788x series. Complete with 115/230 VAC power adapter/supply.

  TA1800  Pulse/Timing Amplifier, 1.8 GHz (-3dB) bandwidth, dc-coupled, X10 (20dB) voltage gain.
  TA2400  Pulse/Timing Amplifier, 2.4 GHz (-3db) bandwidth, dc-coupled, X5 (14dB) voltage gain.
