Master/Slave Operation
You can use two or more ATS850 digitizers in one system to
increase the number of channels for your application by
synchronizing digitizers using the appropriate SyncBoard.
Currently, up to 16 channel (8 board) systems are supported
for ATS850. For higher channel counts, contact the factory
for special system configuration.
Unlike other products on the market, ATS850 does not suffer
from clock jitter between master and slave digitizers.
The unique design of the ATS850 clock circuit provides a
buffered copy of the Master digitizer’s clock to itself and all
the slave digitizers, thereby maintaining a very low skew
between Master and Slave digitizer clocks.
Note that an ATS850 Master/Slave system is capable of
triggering from any one of its input channels. This is valuable
in multi-channel detector applications that cannot predict the
input channel that is going to receive the first pulse.
With fully synchronous A/D conversion, arming and
triggering, an ATS850 based Master/Slave system is an ideal
multi-channel transient analyzer.
