SIS3810 16 Channel pulse length counter


The SIS3810 is a dedicated counter on the base of the SIS360x/38xx base board. It is designed to measure the length of up to sixteen signals. The external signals are used as gates for a common programmable internal clock. The time bins can be programmed in steps of 100 ns, the minimum bin width is 500 ns. The individual counters can be read on the fly during data acquisition, a software clear mechanism on the channel base is implemented also. The unit is available with LEMO and flat cable connectors and a variety of input and control signal options. Have a look at the (Photograph of the Flat Cable Version).
