Hi, The J06 P-59992A time interval calibrator is not only there to calibrate time offsets, but also offsets in trigger point. HP has a nice patent which describes it all. I also got one, found it on ebay. Cheers, Magnus On 07/09/2017 01:18 AM, Bob kb8tq wrote: Hi Good means whatever the 5

The simplest solution to the divider and clock shaper is perhaps to use an LTC6954. The LTC6954 offers PECL/CMOS and LVDS outputs together with a low jitter (sub ps) programmable (SPI) divider (1-63).A couple of coax relays like those from Dow Key microwave together with some hardline and a coup

Hi Good means whatever the 5313x needs for calibration. If that is four signals that are crossing zero within < 10 ps of the “correct time” then that is the definition of good in this case. Rise time delay, fall time delay are rarely the same in logic gates. Propagation inside a chip to poin
