abstract = {The fast extraction kicker system at AGS to RHIC transport line uses Stanford Research DG535 delay generators to time, synchronize, and trigger charging power supplies and high-level thyratron trigger pulse generators. This timing system has been upgraded to use an SRS DG645 instrument due to reliability issues with the aforementioned model and slow response time of GPIB buses. The new model provides the relative timing of the separate kicker modules of the assembly from a synchronized external trigger with the RF system. Specifications of the timing scheme, an algorithm to load settings synchronized with RHIC real-time events, and performance analysis of the software will be presented in the paper.},
