5 Connection of Auxiliary Devices
A wide range of devices can be operated with the TIMY3. Please ask your ALGE representative
for the possibilities.
5.1 Channels
The TIMY3 has 9 independent timing channels.
Attention: Channels 0 to 5 have a maximum precision of 1/10 000 seconds but channel 6 to 8
only 1/100 seconds.
5.2 Delay and Block Times
The variable delay and block times prevent generating double impulses and loosing impulses.
The delay and block times can be changed in the menu.
5.2.1 Delay Time
After triggering an impulse, further impulses of the same impulse channel are disabled for the
duration of the delay time.
Base settings: start channel C0 1.0s
stop channel C1 to C9 0.3s
5.2.2 Block Time
The block time is the theoretic minimum interval between two valid impulses of the same
channel. Impulses within the block time are saved as invalid. The block time is only supported
by certain programs.
That is to say, for an interval start of 30 seconds the minimum clearance is approx. 20 sec-
onds. Thus the block time is 20 seconds, too.
5.3 Diagram of Delay and Block Time
∆t timing channel triggered
1 timing channel is triggered – valid time is saved – block time starts
2 end of impulse – delay time starts
3 timing channel is triggered within the delay time – no impulse triggering
4 end of impulse – delay time restarts
5 timing channel is triggered within the block time – invalid time is saved but not printed
6 end of impulse – delay time starts
7 timing channel is triggered – valid time is saved – block time starts
