N568B

The Model N568B is a 16 channel spectroscopy amplifier implemented in a single-width NIM module.
For each channel the amplification gain, the output polarity, the shaping time and the pole-zero cancellation, are remotely programmable, via HIGH SPEED CAENET line, by the following controllers: V288, A1303 or A250. The shaping time can be selected from 0.2 µs to 6 µs. The gain ranges from 0.15 to 480. The working parameter values are automatically stored in a non-volatile memory. A semi-Gaussian output is provided either with the programmed gain (OUT) or with a further 10x amplification (XOUT), either direct or inverted. A COMMON OFFSET can be programmed via CAENET and allows to shift the baseline of the output. A FOUT output provides a fast amplification for timing purposes (fixed gain factor of 20). A MUX OUT allows to monitor both the OUT and the FOUT outputs of a single channel selected via CAENET.
