6.3.2
Input cards
GEN3i can accept up to three input cards. Each input card includes one or more
digitizers, a powerful CPU or DSP for filtering, intelligent triggering, and
acquisition management. For more information on the various cards, please
refer to chapter "Available input cards" on page 207.
Note
Before changing or removing input cards, always check the warranty
information. Changing input cards will void the tight calibration of the input card.
Wider tolerances have to be considered when exchanging input cards. See
individual specification of input cards used in appendix A “Specifications” on
page 365.
6.3.3
Master/Slave support
The GEN3i system has a built
-
in Master/Slave synchronization connector. This
connector supports the GEN series Master/Slave extended synchronization
protocols and is fully backward compatible with the basic synchronization
protocols. The single synchronization connector allows for the direct connection
of one Slave to the GEN3i or the GEN3i to be a Slave within any Master/Slave
multi mainframe setup.
6.3.4
Thermal protection
Every GEN series mainframe supports a feature called Thermal Shutdown. For
this, the mainframe and acquisition cards have built
-
in digital thermocouples to
measure local temperatures. The GEN series embedded software reads these
values every minute and monitors the system's internal temperature for
overheating.
