test sequencer / real-time / high-speed / high-accuracy

The SATURN Sequencer provides a reliable control unit ("TIMER") for test and measurement labs. It enables precisely timed control of switches, contactors, relays, IGBTs, MOSFETs etc. with a step width of only 10ns and <50ns reaction time.

The SATURN Sequencer is available in different sizes (16, 32 or 64 inputs/outputs). In addition to standard BNC connectors also fiber-optic inputs and outputs are available. This makes it the ideal solution as HV sequencer for high voltage tests in high power labs. In addition it also allows spanning large distances between control unit and the test object.

The individual sequence steps, input triggers and corresponding output patterns are being configured using a convenient graphical user interface and are being downloaded onto the real time control unit with a simple mouse click.
