Turning the high voltage to
Off
while the stabilizer is active will disable the stabilizer
by placing it in the
Hold
mode. In
Hold
mode the stabilizer will hold the current
correction level. Once the high voltage is turned back to On, the stabilization can be
'resumed' by turning the stabilizer mode to
On
.
Turning the stabilizer to
Off
will reset any correction currently in effect back to zero.
A shift in peak centroid will take place if the correction was non-zero.
Auxiliary Counters

Figure 60: Auxiliary Counters Hardware Settings
Lynx supports two auxiliary counters that count TTL-compatible pulses applied
through rear panel BNC connectors. GPI/O 1 applies TTL-pulses to Counter 1, and
GPI/O 2 applies TTL-pulses to Counter 2. When enabled, data acquired by the
counters for the specified time interval is stored internally by the Lynx until
requested and consumed by an external application. Such as a custom application. If
the data is not requested, data losses will eventually occur when the Lynx’s internal
buffers are exhausted.
If using Auxiliary Counters through a custom application, please see important note
in
Using the Programming Libraries
on page 7.
Counters in the Lynx can be operated in
Manual
or
Automatic
mode. In
Manual
, the
client must manually control the acquisition of the counters through a series of
control commands, such as Latch, Read, Clear, etc. In
Automatic
mode, the Lynx
performs all associated housekeeping and holds the data acquired for each interval
until requested by the client. The Web Client interface supports only
Automatic
mode
of operation when requesting data for the Time Series display.
Manual
mode is
supported only through the Programming Libraries.
Preset Limit (mS)
The Preset Limit defines the counter’s time interval in milliseconds. Same value
applies to both counters.
