MCS8A TOF PRODUCT SUMMARY

• 80ps resolution of ion arrival time

• Burst state changes measured up to 12.5 GHz

• Burst pulse widths measured up to 6.25 GHz

• 1, 2, or 4 GB USB-interface FIFO

• Transfer data to computer at a rate of 240 MB/sec

In Mass Spectrometry stop event pulses generated by ions arriving at the detector (typically an MCP) need to be precisely counted exactly in relation to their arrival time (TOF). Decades of experience in this field have made FAST ComTec specialists when it comes to manufacturing ultra-fast pulse counting electronics.

The USB based models of the MCS8A family with 80 ps to 800 ps resolution and up to eight input channels are one of the fastest commercially available fully digital multistop time digitisers (TOF). These models have no dead-time after recording a stop pulse and are able to record burst rates of up to 12.5 GHz, or 300 MHz continuously until the FIFO is full. 1, 2, and 4 GB FIFOs available with 240 MB/s data transfer rate.

The width of the arriving pulses can be measured with an accuracy of 80 pico seconds. FAST ComTec Time-of-Flight Analysers are available with a number of options ranging from software DLL's for LabVIEW, C and Visual Basic to oven controlled oscillators. For measurements requiring very high time precision over a larger time range an optional Rubidium Frequency Standard is available.
