ibaPADU-8-ICP Manual
10.1.2
Hardware Settings
The connection between ibaPADU-8-ICP and the software application on the PC is the
ibaFOB-io-S-board or the combination of ibaFOB-4i + ibaFOB-4o.
Please note to connect the fiber optic links to the corresponding ports on the ibaFOB-4i
and –FOB-4o card (same order top-down), e.g. as shown in Figure 4 above.
Modes of Operation FOB-F and FOB-M
In contrary to previous interface cards, the modes of operation are set by software
means. In ibaLogic there are corresponding dialogs.
Basically, there are two operational modes: FOB-F and FOB-M.
FOB-F is the mode of operation for usual data acquisition with the major part of iba de-
vices such as PADU-8, -16, -32, ibaLink-SM-64-io, ibaLink-SM-128V-i-2o, ibaNet750-
BM etc. The fastest sample rate is 1 kHz (1 ms). You may use ibaPDA, ibaLogic or
ibaScope as software application. When using ibaLogic, only an asynchronous mode is
possible, i.e. ibaLogic can not be synchronized by the ibaPADU-8-ICP.
The FOB-M mode is used for fast data acquisition with sample rates of up to 25 kHz
(40 ms). Running in FOB-M mode, the ibaFOB-card can only work with devices iba-
PADU-16-M, ibaPADU-8-M or –ICP. Only ibaLogic or ibaScope can be used for soft-
ware application. The operation in a synchronous mode, i.e. with synchronising multiple
systems, is possible with ibaScope only.
Menu “File - System Setup - FOB-IO / FOB-M”
The checkbox “Used by ibaLogic” must be checked for FOB-card which is connected to
the ibaPADU-8-ICP.
