Abstract

Apparatus for distributing evenly delayed digital signals to a plurality of separate physical locations in which each location utilizes one particular digital signal. At each physical location an apparatus for adjusting the timing delay of the digital signal is provided so that all physical locations may utilize the digital signals, as for example, a pulse from a timing chain, at the same instant of time with respect to each other. The apparatus for adjusting the timing delay at each location includes a receiver for accepting the digital signal. After the receiver, the digital signal is routed to both a delay line capable of providing a plurality of time delays and to a selector having an input for the received digital signal and for each one of the time delays provided by the delay line. Finally, each selector provides a means of selecting just one of the signals to be utilized at that physical location. The selection process can then be adjusted manually to assure an evenly delayed digital signal throughout all physical locations.
