2.5 - Functional Command & Configuration 

The main panel is divided into two functional groups: Command, and Configuration.  The 

Command 

Group 

allows the user to initiate certain process/system commands.  The 

Configuration Control Group

 

contains the controls necessary to set different configuration parameters into the 90PGA. 
 

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. 
 

Configuration Control Group 

Input Configuration Controls: 

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

 

2 – Coupling Mode Selection:

  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.

 

3 – 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.  

 

4 – Gain Control: 

This control sets the gain (0 to 64.5 in 0.5dB steps) for each channel on the slot card.  

 

5 - Offset Control:

 This control sets the signal DC offset value (-100 to 100 in 1mV steps) for each channel on 

the slot card.

 

6 – 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. 

7 – 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. 

8 – CFG Control: 

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

(9) inclusive. 

 

9 – 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 is ONLY used for configuration selection purposes.
