Digitally controlled generation of time correlated pulses

In this contribution, we present a configurable digital emulator of pulses which generates analog signals with fully programmable shape, energy and temporal distributions. Two independent channels, which can be related in terms of the instants of occurrence of the events, allow generation of pulses with programmable delay with resolution below 12 ps. The instrument also combines the advantage of being extremely compact and portable and is suitable for designing and debugging instrumentation in which the measurements also involve times of flight or temporal correlation, like in PET machines.
