Highland Technology designs and manufactures precision instrumentation including very high speed timing modules. Our VME timing instruments include multi-channel digital delay generators, time-to-digital converters, and pulse amplifiers. These modules provide stable performance with very high resolution and extremely low jitter. Highland Digital Delay Generators provide separately programmable delay outputs for delay, width, and delay-and-width modes, and all parameters may be programmed on-the-fly. The instruments may be combined for very complex timing applications. Other products include electrical measurement modules, A/D converters, precision current sources, strain guage signal conditioners, and custom OEM designs.
