Scope

Intended use

The External Trigger Interface (ETI) is a universal, standalone hardware controller for switching, mixing, converting, and generating trigger signals between scan controllers, high-speed cameras, and/or beam blankers.

The ETI is designed for installation and operation in a 19-inch rack.

Structure

The ETI is housed in a 19-inch enclosure with two height units (2 U) and equipped with:

  • a touch display on the front for controlling and displaying status,
  • a switchable power supply,
  • two trigger inputs and
  • one trigger output.

Each input and output includes Pixel, Line, Frame and BeamBlanker triggers, in TTL and LVDS.
