Model 17 Triple Event Timer

Triple Event Timer

The Event Timer a single pot setting and will track its reference signal perfectly at any speed. The two are permanently linked and not time dependant -- this device senses and responds to the amplitude of it's input against a pot variable level threshold setting. Each of the three independent comparators have a manually adjustable trigger threshold. At this point, the delays you dial-up are locked to the original and will track it's host even if the duration of the original event is modified

Each comparator have it's own Q and Q not outputs, but each can run independently as separate comparators OR be linked together serially (the threshold of comparator 2 is linked to that of comparator 1, the threshold of 3 is linked to that of 2).

In this mode, all combined comparators are linked to input 1. While comparator 1 will have a free range (can be set to any reference level), the threshold level of subsequent comparators down the line can't be adjusted lower than the the one preceding it as they use each others pot reference as their lower limit - much like a parametric EQ or fixed filter bank. In this way, you can extrapolate two or three different voltage levels from one signal --> one taking the lower) range, one taking the mid and one taking higher range of the same input.

Each comparator's link function is switch selectable. You can link 1 and 2 and keep number three fully independent with its own input.
