Supported Devices
The delaygen module provides EPICS support for the following delay generator and programmable delay line instruments:
| Device | Description | Communication | Driver Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| SRS DG645 | 8-channel digital delay generator with sub-picosecond resolution | Serial, Ethernet | asyn port driver |
| SRS DG535 | 4-channel digital delay generator | GPIB | devGpib device support |
| Colby PDL100A | Programmable delay line | Serial, Ethernet | asyn port driver |
| Coherent SDG | 3-channel synchronization delay generator | Serial | asyn port driver |
| BNC 505 | Multi-channel pulse/delay generator | Serial | StreamDevice |
The three asyn port driver devices (DG645, Colby, Coherent SDG) each register an iocsh command to create a driver instance. The DG535 uses the devGpib framework and requires no driver initialization command. The BNC 505 uses StreamDevice with a protocol file and requires no driver initialization beyond the asyn port.
