The V880 is a VME-based system timing module, used to distribute picosecond-precision timing pulses across physically distributed facilities. The V880 receives a 155.52 MHz (OC3 rate) fiberoptic master timing signal and outputs eight local triggers. A typical facility timing system would consist of one master optical signal generator, fiberoptic fanouts as needed, and several to hundreds of V880 timing units.
Test features include:
• LED indicators for VME access, phaselock, trigger
• Electrical test trigger input
• Reference pulse output
• Analog output-signal monitor
• VME monitoring of optical power level, phaselock status, temperatures, error statistics
Master fiberoptic timing signal generators are available.
