3.4.1 Command Group 

1 - Quit Command Button: 

Use this command button whenever you want to exit/close the software.  It will then 

no longer allow configuration changes; close the function card panel and turn-off the SCC without affecting any 
other active slot card process. 
 

3.4.2 Function Group 

2 - Filter Indicator: 

After the card information is successfully loaded into the 90IP instrument during power-up, 

this indicator identifies the filter type for each channel.  The displayed information will remain constant while the 
configuration process is in execution. 

 

3.4.3 Configuration Group 

3 - Channel Configuration Control: 

Use 

Channel Config

 to select the channel configuration desired for each 

slot card based on the available filter modules.  Select 

Dual

 to independently operate each channel, 

Band Pass

 

for band-pass filter settings, and 

Band Reject

 for band-reject filter settings.  

Default value shown at startup is 

typically “Dual”.

  You must verify the 

Filter Indicator (Item 2)

 on both channels to see if the selected 

configuration can be accomplished.  

If the slot card is not configured with a high-pass and low-pass filter 

the band-pass and band-reject options cannot be implemented

4 - Input Configuration Controls: 

Use these controls to select the input configuration modes for the slot card.  

Set the coupling mode for each channel in the function card with the AC/DC control.  Select 

AC

 for AC coupling 

mode or 

DC

 for DC coupling mode.

 

5 – Input Mode Selection: 

Sets the input mode for each channel in the slot card.  Select 

Single-Ended 

for 

single-ended input operation or 

Differential 

for differential input mode.  

 

6 - Output Configuration Control: 

Use this control to select the output configuration for the channel on the slot 

card.  Select 

Normal

 to filter the input signal or 

Bypass 

to remove the filter from the signal path.  

 

7 – Pre-Gain Control: 

This control sets the filter pre-gain (0 to 60 in 5dB steps) for each channel on the slot card.  

 

8 – Post-Gain Control:

 This control sets the filter post-gain (0 to 20 in 1dB steps) for each channel on the slot 

card.  

 

9 - Offset Control:

 This control sets the signal DC offset value for each filter on the slot card.  Set the filter DC 

offset -100 to 100 in 1mV steps for each channel on the function card.  

 

10 - Frequency Control: 

Set the corner frequency (f

c

) for each filter on the slot card with this control.  Available f

c

 

settings are: 0.1Hz to 100.0Hz in 0.1Hz steps, from 101.0Hz to 1000Hz in 1.0Hz steps, from 1.01KHz to 10.0KHz 
in 10.0Hz steps and from 10.2KHz to 300.0KHz in 200.0Hz steps.   

11 – Load CFG Control: 

Use this command button to load a selected configuration from a selected slot card 

channel.  This will load ONLY the configuration parameters for the selected channel/configuration pair.  After 
loading the specified configuration, the display indicators representing the configuration parameters for the 
selected channel will be refreshed.  Allow a ten (10) second delay for refreshing of the GUI. 

12 – Save CFG Control: 

Use this command button to save a selected configuration from a selected slot card 

channel.  This will save ONLY the configuration parameters for the selected channel/configuration pair. 

13 – CFG Control: 

Use this control to set the desired configuration number.  Numbers go from one (1) up to nine 

(9) inclusive. 

 

14 – CH 1 - CH 2 Control: 

Use this control to select the channel to be used in the saving (Save CFG) or loading 

(Load CFG) configuration operations.  This control in ONLY used for configuration selection purposes.
