CompuScope 82GC connectors and headers
CompuScope cards connect to the outside world through connectors, both analog (BNC) and digital
(CompactPCI Bus, Master/Slave, etc.). This section describes these connectors for the CS82GC card.
The connectors and headers on the CS82GC card are shown below:
Figure 61: Connectors on CS82GC
•
CH 1 BNC connector is the single-ended input of channel 1 that is used to input an analog signal that is
sampled as Channel 1.
•
CH 2 BNC connector is the single-ended input of channel 2 that is used to input an analog signal that is
sampled as Channel 2.
•
External Trigger BNC connector is used to input an analog or digital signal, which may be used as an
External Trigger. External Trigger is defined exactly as in an oscilloscope: this signal can be used to
trigger the system but cannot be viewed or digitized.
•
External Clock SMA connector is located on the front panel. This input can be used for injecting a
specific clock signal for digitizing the analog inputs. See the section CompuScope 82GC External
Clock for more details.
•
Master/Slave connector is located on the front panel. This connector is used to pass Clock, Trigger
and Initialization signals from a Master card to Slave card using a Master/Slave Timing Module.
•
Trigger Out BNC connector is located on the front panel near the bottom of the card. This connector
outputs a TTL signal, the low to high transition of which signifies the occurrence of a trigger event on
the CS82GC. See the section
CompuScope 82GC Trigger Output for more details.
