The Vincent/UniBlitz T132 is a precision shutter driver engineered for direct control of UniBlitz shutters across imaging and optical applications. It delivers synchronized exposure timing with independent control of shutter activation and delay intervals, making it suitable for both single-shot and continuous chopper operations. The unit provides two configurable timers, BNC I/O connectivity, RS-232 control, and automatic voltage selection for global deployment.
Technical Specifications
Timing Control
• Two independent timers: 0.1 ms to 9999 seconds each
• Four-digit push-wheel switches for interval adjustment
• PRE/POST delay mode selection via toggle switch
• Continuous mode recycle interval control for low-level chopper applications
Power & Electrical
• Input: 115 VAC or 230 VAC (automatic switching)
• External regulated +5 VDC supply output
Interfaces
• RS-232 control interface
• Rear panel BNC connectors: TRIG, PULSE OUT, PULSE IN, SYNC, RESET
• Five-pin CONTROL terminal strip for additional signal connections
Synchronization
• Solid-state sync support for compatible shutters
• SYNC ACTIVE LED indicates shutter open state
• Active-low SYNC output signal
– Key Features
• Universal compatibility with all UniBlitz shutter models
• Selectable pre-exposure or post-exposure delay modes
• Bypass timer function via PULSE IN for direct shutter drive
• Active-low trigger input (falling edge initiation)
• Active-low RESET input inhibits all functions
• Continuous re-triggering capability for chopper control
– Typical Applications
• High-speed imaging systems requiring precise exposure timing
• Optical measurement and spectroscopy with synchronized shutters
• Chopper wheel control for low-frequency modulation
• Automated microscopy and machine vision systems
– Compatibility & Integration
The T132 controls shutters equipped with UniBlitz solid-state sync systems. RS-232 connectivity enables remote operation and integration into larger test and measurement setups. Note: The successor VMM-T1 model includes addressable RS-232 for daisy-chaining up to eight units.
