FLEX99OEM-160 is a real time digital correlator.
Flex99OEM-160 specifications:
- Auto correlation.
- 160 ns minimum sample.
- 264 real time channels.
- Delay time range: 160ns to 1 hour in multiple tau channel layout.
- Input signal: standard TTL pulses.
- One BNC connectors
- One USB connector.
- No external power supply needed.
- Symmetric normalization.
- Easy to use software for Windows98/Windows2000 libraries included.
Multiple tau channel layout ( sample time denoted at T, data width W):
- First 16 channels: T = 160ns, W = 4 bits, delay times T to 16*T;
- Second 8 channels: T = 2*160ns, W = 5 bits, delay times 9*T to 16*T
- Third 8 channels: T = 4*160ns, W = 6 bits, delay times 9*T to 16*T;
- Fourth 8 channels: T = 8*160ns, W = 7 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:
Flex99OEM-160 is designed with sufficient hardware resource to prevent overflow at any
reasonable intensities. However, in extreme and unphysical situations, clipping and
overflow could happen. The intensity limits are following:
- Maximum intensity integrated over 160ns: 93.75 MHz. Clipping will happen if the
input intensity exceeds the maximum.
- Maximum intensity integrated over 84ms: 17.7 MHz. Overflow will happen if
the maximum is exceeded.
