• Trigger timing generator
• Ideal for electrophysiology
• Perfect match for DS2A and DS3
• Internal battery

The DG2A is a compact, free-standing, battery powered instrument which can be used to generate trigger pulses required for repetitive stimulation. Also featuring DELAY controls, it is useful for determining nerve or axonal Effective Refractory Period (ERP) through the production of a delayed second pulse.

Various modes allow output pulses to be produced singularly (SINGLE), continuously (FREE-RUN & GATED) or in a burst (TRAIN), with the burst/train duration and pulse frequency determined by the front panel controls. In each of the modes (except FREE-RUN), outputs can be initiated either by the front panel push button, a TTL compatible trigger/gating pulse or a suitable foot switch.

The unit has control of train duration over three full decades, pulse repetition rate (or frequency) within that train over five decades and control of the delayed pulse over three decades. It has two BNC output sockets (i) the SYNC output produces a pulse to trigger recording devices or synchronize other equipment and (ii) the OUT output produces either a delayed version of the same or by toggle switch selection, pairs of delayed and non-delayed pulses (as would be necessary for ERP studies).

The unit is especially suitable for use with our DS2A Isolated Constant Voltage and DS3 Isolated Current Isolated Stimulators which have their own Pulse Duration controls.

The instrument is powered by an internal 9V battery (PP3 - 6R61 style) and replaces our DG2 Trigger Generator.

A mounting frame (part number BS4 65-0337) is available so that two units of either DG2A, DS2A or DS3 can be mounted in 19” rack. See page H53 for DS2A and DS3 stimulators. The unit always produces a pulse to synchronize other equipment at SYNC and a pulse delayed from SYNC by DELAY controls. Note: No other accessories, other than a battery, are supplied.
