MASTER

– Master

When the card is a Master, it generates all control signals, needed for the Data
Acquisition, internally. If the boards work in standalone configuration then all boards
have to be set to Master. If the boards are configured for the synchronous sampling
then only one board can be switched to be Master.

0 : the board is a Slave
1 : the board is a Master

USAGE

Can be changed only in IDLE_ST

DA_END

– Data Acquisition End

The bit is set by hardware after the normal end of Data Acquisition or when the
DA_SKIP has been performed. It is not set if Data Acquisition ends with the error.
This bit is cleared on arming command or clearing command.

1 : DA ended

USAGE



This bit can be used to detect the end of the Data Acquisition. There are

possible two ways: polling the bit or waiting for interrupt generated by this bit
when either Output Trigger or Direct Interrupt was enabled. The Data
Acquisition stop condition depends on the card configuration.



This bit is not set if Data Acquisition is ended by error or software reset

MAINSM_ST

– Main State Machine States

The bits indicate the states of the main state machine.
