Features:
Applications:
Description:
The Model MS-12 is a multi input scaler that provides on a single ISA card 12 scalers. The first scaler can be configured as a timer with 10 ns time resolution (crystal time base). Two scalers can be preset. Utilizing the carryout function a 64 bit preset capability is available.
The 12 inputs are designed to accept TTL or positive NIM pulses at rates of up to 100 MHz - the pulse-pair resolution is 10 ns. A 1 kOhm or 50 Ohm input impedance can be selected.
All 12 scalers are connected to a common GATE and a LOAD (to start value / reset) line. The start and stop function can also be synchronized by the "GO"-Line as used by the new Model MPA-3 Multiparameter System. Each scaler has its own gate input, a common gate is also provided.
Up to four MS-12 can be operated in one PC and the status of all scalers displayed in one window. A very useful feature is the four channel digital ratemeter display where four scalers of a MS-12 card can be selected to show the counting rate in a bargraph display.

PERFORMANCE
Count Capacity: 32 bit
Count Rate: 100 MHz max.
Pulse Pair Resolution: 10 ns
Two scalers are presettable
Scaler #1 can be programmed to
provide a selectable carry-out.
Connected to the input of Scaler #2 a 64 bit preset
capability is achieved
Scaler #1 can be defined as a timer
with 10 ns resolution
Four scaler cards can be placed in one computer and
the status displayed in one screen.
A max. of four scalers can be selected to indicate the
input counting rate like a digital rate meter.
Software
The MS-12 is delivered complete with software
operating under WIN-95/98 and WIN-NT.
A DLL for LabVIEW and Visual Basic will be available
shortly.
