Memo
To: Steve Gary
From: Tom Armstrong
Subject: Time Constants for V1 LECP
Steve,
I need the final, authoritative version of the following Voyager parameters:
t, "dead time", discriminator/output circuit recovery time, or max rate on random pulses.
T, "resolving time", how close must two incident events occur in order to fire a discriminator as a piled-up pulse.
Nominal values are ok. Give your best estimates of uncertainties.
| τ | Τ | |
| A | (A B coin.) | 70 μs |
| B | 70 μs | |
| δ | 20 μs | |
| δ’ | 20 μs | |
| α | 2.4 μs | 1.5 μs |
| β | 2.4 μs | 1.5 μs |
| β’ | 2.4 μs | 1.5 μs |
Thanks,
TPA
