Flex30-OEM specifications:
- Auto correlations.
- 960ns minimum sample.
- 248 real time channels.
- Delay time range: 960ns to 1 hour in multiple tau channel layout.
- Input signal: standard TTL pulses.
- One BNC connectors
- Price: $999.
Multiple tau channel layout ( sample time denoted at T, data width W):
- First 16 channels: T = 960ns, W = 5 bits, delay times T to 16*T;
- Second 8 channels: T = 2*960ns, W = 6 bits, delay times 9*T to 16*T
- Third 8 channels: T = 4*960ns, W = 7 bits, delay times 9*T to 16*T;
- Fourth 8 channels: T = 8*960ns, W = 8 bits, delay times 9*T to 16*T;
- Sample time doubles every 8 channels and data width increment 1 bit to prevent overflow.
- The longest delay time is about one hour.
Intensity limits:
Flex30R is designed with sufficient hardware resource to prevent overflow at any
reasonable intensities. However, in extreme situations, clipping and overflow could
happen. The intensity limits are following:
- Maximum intensity integrated over 960ns: 32.29 MHz. Intensity over the maximum
will be clipped to the maximum.
- Maximum intensity integrated over 251ms: 11.79 MHz. Overflow will happen if the
maximum is exceeded.

Multiple tau theory was invented by Klaus Schätzel. The following papers discuss
the theory and the advantage of the multiple tau scheme.
