Hi All,

after a visit in our hardware zoo we found that we might want to look
for a new solution for our standard trigger delays.

These are the features that we are looking for (more or less):

 o VME form factor and bus
 o One trigger in, 8 outputs with separately programmable delay and
   pulse width
 o Delay: range 0 - 100ms, resolution ~10ns
 o Pulse: length 10ns - some 100us, polarity programmable
 o Outputs can be suppressed separately (programmable)
 o All output registers can be read back

We are now using a card by the ESRF (VPDU), which resembles a TTL
graveyard that we would rather replace or redesign than rebuild.

Our high precision high resolution triggers are handled by Highland's
V851/B951, which is too valuable to be used everywhere.

Ideas anyone? Open for suggestions!

Thanks for your cooperation!
Ralph
