1. An electronic module equipped to produce an output signal, the electronic module comprising:
a digital input interface that receives a set of digital input signals including timing parameters and amplitude parameters, wherein the timing parameters include one or more pulse width values, one or more delay time values, one or more repetition rate values, and an overall period for the set of digital input signals, wherein the timing parameters are each independently configurable by a user using the digital input interface for different channels that includes at least a first channel and a second channel;
at least one pulse generator and one or more signal generators connected to the digital input interface and the at least one pulse generator that generate a plurality of synchronized signals that include the set of digital input signals, wherein at least one of the input signals has a timing parameter based on the one or more repetition rate values and the overall period and an amplitude parameter that are set by one of the timing parameters and the amplitude parameters received from the digital input interface, wherein at least one of the input signals has a pulse parameter set by the one or more pulse width values and the one or more delay time values of the timing parameters received from the digital input interface and processed by the at least one pulse generator, and wherein each of the plurality of synchronized signals are simultaneously provided for selection on the first and second channels; and
a selection mechanism connected to the at least one pulse generator, and the one or more signal generators, and a plurality of output terminals, wherein the selection mechanism places a first signal of the plurality of synchronized signals on a first output terminal of the plurality of output terminals and places a second signal of the plurality of synchronized signals on a second output terminal of the plurality of output terminals, and wherein the first output terminal and the second output terminal are different output terminals.
