Product Summary

Designed for control of normal repetitive stimulation as well as for defining the Effective Refractory Period using a second, delayed pulse.

 

  • Trigger timing generator
  • Ideal for electrophysiology
  • Perfect match for DS2A and DS7A Stimulators
  • Internal battery

The DG2A Train Delay Generator is an ideal instrument for electrophysiological recordings requiring pulsed stimulation of samples. It is especially useful for use with our DS2A Isolated Stimulator which has its own pulse width control.

The unit features Rate/Frequency control spanning 3 full decades, and selection of single or twin pulses with 3 decade control of the inter-pulse delay. A single shot button is fitted to supply pulses on demand (when the oscillator is off) or in addition to the repetitive stimuli (when the oscillator is on). The oscillator (frequency generator) can be switched to free-run, off, or on while the switch is held.

A SYNC output socket is available for triggering recording devices. The OUT output can be selected as either the non-delayed pulse, the delayed pulse, or both (twin) pulses.

The instrument is powered by an internal 9 volt battery (PP3 - 6LR61 style), but can also be powered by an external calculator-style plug-in power supply (not supplied).

Modes Control Four position rotary switch.
Movement of this control will immediately terminate any cycle and keep unit in Reset state for approximately 1 second.
Functions Single - Input signal triggers a single Output pulse
Free-Run - Continuous OUtput pulses as set by Repetition controls.
Gated - Input signal enables unit to produce pulses as set by Repetition controls.
Train - Input signal triggers unit to produce pulses as set by Repetition controls for the time set by the Duration controls.
Input Connector BNC socket
Levels TTL high (>1.5V), TTL low (<0.8V)
Polarity Active High (Gate/Train) and Positive edge (Single) or Active Low and Negative edge by Internal Jumper
Internal jumper Enable Active Low - allowing for an Input that is Low during its active phase.
In Active Low an external contact closure can be used.
Push-button Has same function as valid input signal.
Indicator Too Fast red LED that flashes if a Trigger is received while unit is busy.
Duration Total range 10 ms - 12 seconds in three overlapping ranges.
Control Single turn control marked 1 - 12 s with intermediate integer panel marks.
Accuracy ±1% at '1' and '12' marks, ±5% at intermediate marks.
Multiplier x0.01, x0.1, x1.
Internal jumper Enable x10 - gives a 100 ms - 120 s total range.
Repetition
(Frequency)		 Total range 0.01 - 1200 Hz in five overlapping ranges.
Control Single turn control marked 1 - 12 Hz with intermediate integer panel marks.
Accuracy ±1% at '1' and '12' marks, ±5% at intermediate marks.
Multiplier x0.01, x0.1, x1, x10, x100.
Delay Total range 1 ms - 1200 ms in three overlapping ranges.
Control Single turn control marked 1 - 12 ms with intermediate integer panel marks.
Accuracy ±1% at '1' and '12' marks, ±5% at intermediate marks.
Multiplier x1, x10, x100.
Internal jumper Enable x10 - giving a 10 ms - 12 s total range.
Indicator Too Long red LED that flashes if Delay longer than can be produced for each pulse.
