Flexible Generation Of Array-Detector Timing Signals

Abstract

Assembly of custom-made electronic equipment and multipurpose commercial electronic equipment commonly found in electronics-development laboratories facilitates generation and modification of timing pattern signals for control of array detectors. Designed to serve as flexible electronic array-detector-testing apparatus configured via software; timing patterns created, stored, and changed easily. Assembly prepared for experimental evaluation of new detector design in much less time and less expense than necessary to construct special circuits to generate all timing patterns to be tried on new design.
