Features and Specifications

Multiplexer can be configured in following ways:

sequentially - sending and receiving channel sequence is stored and each following channel switched with TTL Trigger
each channel can be used separately as sender or receiver

Pulser circuit waveforms: The rising edge of the Trig signal initiates the transducer charging process which takes from 1μs to 8μs depended on settings. After this time a transistor switch which discharges the transducer is turned on (discharge time is about 20ns, but it can be longer, if the capacitance of the transducer is to large; the limit is reached, if the transducer is made from the standard ceramics, is 0.1 mm thick and has 8 mm diameter). Because of the very low output impedance of the device (<1Ω) and short discharge time the pulse generated with this device could be concerned as a real pulse answer for the most transducers

Pulse voltage can be controlled in two ways: using analogue input Vreg (DB15) or serial interface (DB9). After switching the power on, default is analogue control (0-12V). Using serial interface the control can be switched to it.
