Description 

  • Single ADC-sample per analog input sample event.
  • Analog input sampling events enhanced from 3 to 13 possible sources.
  • Supports DMA (see note).

 

  • ADC-sample per analog input sample event.
  • ADC-burst (one or more channels collected) per analog input sample event. Timing between ADC-samples within a burst are adjustable from 5 microseconds to 53 seconds to 25 nanosecond resolution.
  • Analog input sampling events enhanced from 3 to 13 possible sources.
  • Large FIFO depth allows for greater interrupt latency or readout latency.
  • Supports DMA (see note).

 

  • CPU read-out N-blocks of data per unit of time (i.e. CPU-burst reads)
  • Sample timing and intra-sample timing in ADC-burst modes adjustable to 25 nanosecond resolution.
  • FIFO interrupt generated interrupts and events very flexible to support optimal CPU bursting (ultimately dependent on other CPU overhead or rhythmic behavior such as flash drives).
  • Data fragment buffer reduces PC/104 generated IOCHRDY or wait conditions, further enhancing PC/104 data bus throughput.
  • Large FIFO depth enhances the time decoupling between CPU activities and precise sample timing.

 

  • Start-Trigger to begin sampling, then Stop-Trigger to stop sampling. Repeat sequence.
  • Large FIFO depth offers ability to collect large groups of data with a post-readout scheme.

 

  • Start-Trigger to begin sampling, stop sampling when N-samples/-Frames reached (i.e. Stop-Trigger event).
  • Large FIFO depth offers set it and forget it methodology, thus drastically reducing CPU software monitoring overhead.
