B.70 Rulbus Pulser (J-band version)

Module name: rb_pulser_j

Additionally required modules: rs_sml01 if RF pulses are to be used.

Description: Pseudo-pulser for J-band spectrometer in Leiden, using the Rulbus (Rijksuniversiteit Leiden BUS) - requires Linux device driver and library that are part of the fsc2 package). This pulser isn't a normal stand-alone device but consists of a combination of (currently) 10 Rulbus RB8514 delay cards and 2 clock cards (one fixed frequency 100 MHz card and a RB8515 card with adjustable frequency) as well as requiring the Rohde & Schwarz SML01 synthesizer (with the SML-B3 option) in order to be able to create RF pulses.

The timebase of this pulser is fixed to 10 ns, but this can be changed by using a second adjustable clock card and a modification of the configuration file for the pulser. Its number of functions is restricted to MICROWAVE, RADIO_FREQUENCY and DETECTION. Moreover, only a maximum of three active MICROWAVE pulses is possible and only a single active RF and DETECTION pulse. To be able to create an RF pulse the R&S SML01 synthesizer mentioned above is required. The RF and DETECTION pulse can only start after the first MICROWAVE pulse and the length of pulses and the distance between them is limited to about 167 ms (and that's also the maximum delay between the start of the pulse sequence and the start of the first pulse of a function).
