Describe the TIMS system hardware?

TIMS is comprised of the following system components:

1. The FIXED UNIT, which includes 7 "fixed modules" and a rack which holds up to 12 "plug-in modules". The "fixed modules" include some of the most common functions/building-blocks that are required in most experiments.
2. Thirteen Basic "plug-in modules". This BASIC MODULES SET includes further fundamental building blocks required in many telecommunications and signal processing experiments.
3. 2 groups of optional Advanced modules:
   1. The ADVANCED MODULE SET which includes more specialised building blocks, and,
   2. The DSP MODULE SET.
