Knowledge

Time Tagger supports Windows (10 or higher) and Linux (Ubuntu 18.04+, CentOS 8). The high-performance GUI Time Tagger Lab is exclusive to Windows. Linux users can access a deprecated web application. macOS is unsupported, but solutions exist. CPU performance is crucial; optimal CPUs with high single-core performance ensure the best data streaming and preprocessing. Multi-threading is essential for simultaneous measurements.

Time Tagger supports Windows and Linux but not macOS. Workarounds include running Windows on a virtual machine on macOS to use the USB-connected Time Tagger, or using TimeTaggerRPC to control the Time Tagger with macOS via a Windows or Linux machine.

SMA cables are ideal for Time Tagger connections. Use double-shielded cables under 5 meters for optimal signal quality and minimal jitter.

The Time Tagger precisely detects electrical signals across various waveforms with 1 ps resolution, ensuring accurate edge detection for signals with sufficient slew rates, like those in the Time Tagger Ultra model.

What trigger level to set for Time Tagger

Each Time Tagger model has specific input signal ranges, with slight tolerance beyond limits. For signals outside these ranges, using SMA attenuators is recommended. Refer to our brochure for details.

Time Tagger models require a minimum input amplitude of 100 mV and specific pulse durations. Shorter or smaller pulses may reduce count rate or increase jitter.

This page explains how to compensate the delays between channels depending on the signal

In the Time Tagger Lab, rising and falling edges are separate channels, with falling edges marked as negative numbers.

our Software is designed to work with our Time Tagger products

With our Time Tagger, you can select any binwidth from 1 ps to over a day, in 1 ps steps, offering flexibility to match your experiment’s needs.

Our Time Tagger API supports saving raw data and performing analyses in Python. Use TimeTagStream for saving data in text format or FileWriter for ttbin files. For plotting, integrate with libraries like Matplotlib
