1.1. Overview
The MOD745-20 Digital Delay Generator provides twenty independent delayed output pulses.
Delays up to 10 seconds may be programmed with 100ps resolution (1ps optional) and a channel to
channel jitter of less than 50 ps RMS.
BNC outputs deliver delayed pulses with adjustable level (3 to 6V) and width into 50Ω load. A polarity
control allows to have inverted pulses.
A trigger output signal (T0) is provided as the temporal reference for the delayed outputs.
The MOD745-20 may be remote controlled via Ethernet interface (10/100Mb/s) (basic commands or Web
page interface).

1.2. Principle – Block diagram
The principle of the MOD745-20 programmable delay generator is described in the figure bellow.
The sequence follows 3 phases:
1) After an insertion delay, a reference pulse appear at the “T0” output,
2) Following the reference, a pulse is generated on each channel after the specified delay,
3) At the end of the sequence, after last delayed pulse outputs, the delay generators are initiate.
When a sequence is in progress the instrument will not respond to a trigger event.
Each channel T1 to T20 can be independently set in level, width, delay, polarity and trigger source. All
these values are saving when the equipment is shut down, except the trigger source (option). After the power
on, all trigger sources are set to OFF (INH).

The maximum power consumption of the MOD745-20 is 80 W.
3.1.2. Power cord
The MOD745-20 comes with a removable power cord for US operation. It has a three contact plug for
connection to both the power source and protective ground.
3.2. Operating temperature
The MOD745-20 can be operated where the ambient air temperature is 0°C to 35°C and can be stored in
ambient temperature from - 10°C to + 60°C. The MOD745-20 is cooled by air circulation. To prevent
instrument damage a clearance of 2 inches on the side and 1 inch on the rear must be maintained for proper
cooling.
3.3. Rack mounting information
The MOD745-20 will fit a 19 inch rack.
3.4. Self-test
The model, firmware version, serial numbers of the equipment and self-test will be displayed for a certain
duration after the start up, depending on the ambient temperature. The self-test should not exceed 1 minute.
3.5. Optimal performance
To ensure optimal performance, it is recommended to wait 1 hour after the equipment’s switching on.

6.3. Remote control via web page
With Internet explorer or Firefox, you can open a web page to drive the MOD745-20 at the IP address
specified:
The “PULSE OUTPUTS” area allows controlling each output from T0 to T20:
- Trigger source (F1, F2, F3, SS1, SS2 or INH)
- Delay in ps
- Amplitude in mV
- Width in ns
- Polarity (positive or negative)
And displays the state of the channels T1 to T20:
- Led lights green : the channel has been triggered
- Led off (black) : the channel has not been triggered
A click on the leds reset all the states of the channels.

The “SYNC MESSAGE” area allows to:
- Change the values of F1 to F3
- Toggle between Run and Stop states (“Run” button lights green when in “Run” state)
- Perform a single shot (“Trigger” button lights green when a single shot occurred, and can be erased
by clicking on the state led of the channels)
The “STATUS” area shows:
- The level of the internal power supplies
- The internal temperature of the unit
- The state of the clock (lights in green when external clock)
Notes: When entering a new value, after pressing “Enter” key, the field turns yellow briefly (the new value
is sent), then turns white again (the new value has been taken into account). If the new value is out of range,
then the field will turn red, until a valid value is entered.

The MOD745-20 comes with DLL drivers for Windows XP or Seven. Our primary objective in designing
software drivers is to get the user up and running as quickly as possible.
Software drivers are provides as a Dynamic Link Library (DLL) which is compatible with most 32-bit
windows based development software. The main program is written on Labview v11 or later.
The listing of files is the following:
MOD745-20: main program,
DLL or vi:
o *.dll or *.vi : set the value,
o *_val.dll or *_val.vi : query the value.
