4 Variants and Options
The quTAG MC can be upgraded with the following features. The optional features that can also
be installed individually. The basic variant does not include any of the options listed below. For
the procedure of installation refer to section 6.4 .
Enables correlation measurement software, see section 7.4 for details.
Enables lifetime measurement software, see section 7.5 for details.
4 GPIO-Inputs can be used as data markers. The markers are included in
the timeline to help sorting timestamps. See sections 5.4 and 7.6 .
Devices can be synchronized by the Sync-Out SMA connector via 10 MHz.
If an external clock is connected, the Sync-Out signal is phase locked to the
input.
The device may be synchronized to an external clock signal 10 MHz.
User defined
External Clock
The external clock frequency can be changed from 1 – 100 MHz.
Filters timestamp events that are not needed for the application. This
filtering happens inside the device and therefore saves bandwidth on the
USB connection. See section 7.7 for more details.
The two programmable outputs enable conditional measurements, state
preparation, gating of detectors, control of shutters and more to
synchronize events. An adjustable delay can be added on the output signal
by software.
