PIV Synchronizing System

Coordinate laser output and camera acquisition with a PIV timing controller. Six pulse outputs share a frequency and pulse width, with independently adjustable delays. Qualify trigger levels, timing resolution and jitter against the laser and camera before specifying the controller.

What to specify

Share these details with your enquiry so we can match the component to your optical setup.

  1. 01Laser and camera models, trigger levels, polarity and input impedance.
  2. 02Required timing sequence, image-pair separation, output frequency and pulse width.
  3. 03Delay range, timing resolution and allowed jitter for the complete measurement.

Application context

Why this design is used

Synchronized PIV acquisition

Coordinate exposure and laser emission so each image contains the intended illumination event. The timing sequence must respect the laser repetition rate, pulse-pair capability and camera acquisition modes.

Technical FAQ

Configuration questions for PIV Synchronizing System

What jitter and delay resolution are specified?

The overview describes stable jitter and adjustable delay but gives no numerical jitter, resolution or delay range. Request these values for the selected controller.

Does this controller make a single-pulse laser a double-pulse PIV source?

No. A timing controller can coordinate supported events; it does not change the laser cavity, repetition-rate limit or minimum pulse separation. Qualify the laser and camera for the required image-pair timing.
