The Quantum Composers Model 9422 Digital Delay-Pulse Generator with 2 independent outputs is designed to provide cutting edge, yet cost-effective solutions to generate and synchronize multiple pulses for a wide range of applications. The delay and pulse width for each channel are independent and digitally controlled which makes the instrument ideal for situations that require synchronizing a number of different events.

The 9420 Series pulse generator was designed to meet the growing demand for an affordable yet flexible system synchronizer. This benchtop, lab ready, delay generator comes standard with a 10ns timing resolution and a low jitter of less than 400ps. The simple programming, high functionality, and easy memory recall makes this model ideal for multiple projects and a wide variety of applications.
