EX-TA / EX-TB trigger boxes

TG-Series External Trigger Boxes EX-TA and EX-TB

Trigger boxes for the TG (external-triggering) versions of the Aurora 4000 and Sunshine. The EX-TA exposes every spectrometer parameter to the software through the 30-pin connector; the EX-TB adds an independent signal source that fans out two synchronous trigger signals with software-set delay in 5 ns steps.

TG-Series External Trigger Boxes EX-TA and EX-TB
Best for: Pulsed-laser experiments — LIBS, time-gated fluorescence — where the spectrometer has to fire in step with the source.

Features

  • EX-TA: full spectrometer control from the software through the 30-pin connector
  • EX-TB: independent signal source with two synchronous trigger outputs
  • EX-TB: passive and active trigger inputs; delay set in the spectrometer software
  • For the Aurora 4000 and Sunshine TG series

Applications

  • Synchronised spectrum acquisition
  • Pulsed-laser LIBS
  • Time-gated measurements
