Counters
falling) edges on the Source input occurring between an active edge of the Gate signal and an
active edge of the Aux signal. The counter then stores the count in the FIFO on a sample clock
edge. On the next active edge of the Gate signal, the counter begins another measurement. The
STC3 transfers the sampled values to host memory using a high-speed data stream.
Figure 5-25 shows an example of a sample clocked buffered two-signal separation
measurement.

Sample Clocked Buffered Two-Signal Separation Measurement
Note
If an active edge on the Gate and an active edge on the Aux does not occur
between sample clocks, an overrun error occurs.
For information about connecting counter signals, refer to the
section.
