GLOSSARY
Apply Sends a channel’s current timing settings to the Model 725.
Baud Rate The speed of communication via the Com port.
Channel One of eight internal signal paths in the Model 725.
Channel Input The signal which feeds one of the eight channels. A channel
input can be triggered by signals from any combination of
signals from the input jacks and/or channel outputs.
Channel Settings The logic and timing settings which determine how a channel
functions.
Com Port A serial port on a PC computer. The Model 725 communicates
with the computer via an RS-232 cable connected to a Com
port.
Controller The Model 725 hardware unit.
Timer Mode This timing mode determines the time delay between two
separate input signals.
Delay The time between the arrival of an input trigger and the release
of an output pulse.
Delayed Pulse After Trigger In this timing mode, a channel waits for an input signal, waits a
specified delay time then sends a pulse to the channel output.
Duration The length of an output pulse.
Dynamic Delay Compensation This mode is designed to dynamically adjust trigger timing to
compensate for drift in a laser or other electronics.
Dynamically Delayed Pulse This timing mode measures the time difference between two
pulses, scales that difference by a user-defined factor, waits the
duration of that calculated delay, then sends a pulse to the
channel output.
Edge Triggering This channel setting ensures that an input signal which stays
high will only trigger the channel once.
Enable/Disable I/O A function which disables or suspends a channel (or all
channels) temporarily. The function is available on the Model
725 front panel and on the channel settings screens.
