After initialization the hardware enters a series of states called init_refresh where the SDRAM is ready to use but
a command has not been detected. A counter delays for 256 clocks then a refresh cycle [4] occurs in an endless
loop. When a command [start] has been set then the hardware will begin processing that command. Any
combination of channels can be activated. The channels should be activated before the corresponding channels on
the Front End Filters in capture mode to make sure that there is not an overflow condition at the Input FIFO.
