Image of Flex07-32.  The dimension of the external enclosure is approximately 34cmx10cmx2.5cm

Functions:

1. 32 channel real time MT-16 multiple tau digital correlator.  

2. Minimum sample time 200 ns.  

3. Minimum integration time 6553.6us.  

4. Maximum integration time 1.677 seconds.  Could be extended upon request.

Flex07-32 hardware specifications:

  1. Input signal: standard TTL pulses.
  2. 33 BNC connectors
  3. One USB connector.
  4. Windows98/2000/ME/XP/Vista libraries included.

Correlation specifications:

1. MT-16 multiple tau channel layout ( sample time denoted at T, data width W):

  1. Auto/cross correlations.
  2. 200 ns minimum sample.
  3. 128 real time channels.
  4. Delay time range: 0.2 us to 52428.8us in multiple tau channel layout.
  5. First 16 channels: T = 0.2us, W = 4 bits, delay times 0.2us to 3.2 us;
  6. Second 8 channels: T = 2*0.2us, W = 5 bits, delay times 3.6 to 6.4us
  7. Third 8 channels: T = 4*0.2us, W = 6 bits, delay times 6.8us to 12.8us;
  8. Fourth 8 channels: T = 8*0.2us, W = 7 bits, delay times 14.4 to 25.6us;
  9. Sample time doubles every 8 channels and data width increment 1 bit to prevent overflow.
  10. The longest delay time is 52428.8 us.

2. Integration time is from 1 to 256 times of 6553.6 us
