Pulse-height analysis, timing signal derivation, and pulse-shape analysis Trailing-edge constant-fraction timing with two independent timing channels Walk <±250 ps for a 10:1 dynamic range DC-coupled Resolves shape variations over a 200:1 dynamic range Adjustable delay 0.1 to 1.1 µs Provision for external baseline sweep The ORTEC Model 552 Pulse-Shape Analyzer and Timing Single-Channel Analyzer is a valuable instrument for experimentalists performing pulse-height analysis, timing signal derivation, and determination of pulse shapes. The single-width NIM module offers many features normally requiring the use of several separate instruments. A patented trailing-edge constant-fraction (CF) timing technique is used, providing excellent timing on either unipolar or bipolar signals and giving better results than are possible with conventional leading-edge discriminators. Two independent CF time-derivation channels are used to evaluate the shape of the input waveform. When, for example, these discriminators are set to 10 and 90% fractions, the time interval between the two outputs thus generated will be a measure of the input signal fall time. The versatility of the Model 552 is evidenced by the three functions it can be used for: time derivation, pulse-height analysis, and adjustable output delay.
