•
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 BNC 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 1610C 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(s) 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 CS1610C. This signal is synchronized to the sampling clock. See the section
CompuScope 1610C
Trigger Output for more details.
•
CompactPCI
TM
connector is located at the rear of the card. This is an industry standard connector
that complies with all specifications of the CompactPCI
TM
bus.
•
Status LEDs are located at the bottom of the front panel. Note that the BUSY LED is illuminated
when the CompuScope 1610C is capturing a signal. The TRIG LED is illuminated after the
CompuScope 1610C receives a trigger.
