GFT3022 provides master triggers and time base while generating an optical serial data stream over an optical network to synchronize many local delay generators.
The clock reference of the GFT3022 can be external or internal. In some applications the GFT3022 can also generate a clock to synchronize other devices (Laser Oscillator, etc …).
The GFT3022 can respond to an external hardware single-shot trigger or generate an internal single-shot trigger.
To prevent erroneous outputs, the user can stop the single-shot with a hardware level preset. An additional security measure is enabled if the external clock reference is lost, returning the GFT3022 to a preset frequency.
All parameters may be locally controlled over front panel, and remotely controlled over Ethernet and Internet (internal web server) interface.
The main application of the GFT3022 is in picosecond timing systems to provide several hundred trigger pulses to equipment distributed over important areas encountered in large Laser Timing Systems.
