An array of fast detectors and supporting electronics were developed to serve as the start trigger for the time of flight (TOF) detector for the Phobos experiment at RHIC. The start detectors are fast Cherenkov counters featuring about 60 ps time jitter for minimum ionising particles. The timing pulses from these detectors will be accurately aligned in time by two remotely operated, variable delay CAMAC modules, featuring 16 independently programmable delay channels per module. The electronic delay can be programmed in 256 equal steps of 10 ps duration, independently for each channel. The timing jitter contributed by the electronic delay module is equal to 1 delay step. The module accepts differential ECL inputs, and it delivers delayed pulses to a differential ECL output. An OR of all pulses is also provided. There is an option to set the delay range of every channel to a longer range, between 2.5 ns and 1 millisecond, independently for each channel.
