Saturation Detectors
Analog and digital saturation detectors are routed from their sources to the display indicators.
Anti-alias Filter
Limits the input bandwidth to one-fourth of the sampling frequency, preventing corruption from out-of-band
signals.
Analog to Digital Converter
The analog to digital converter (A/D) provides the Digital Signal Processor (DSP) with sampled amplitude data.
Digital Signal Processor (DSP)
The Digital Signal Processor (DSP) creates filter functions based upon micro-controller command, permits
transition between active (ACT) and bypass (BYP) modes, and produces filter performance characteristics for
display. With the exception of filter or frequency change, the sampled data stream from/to the DSP is not
interrupted by micro-controller - DSP communication. The DSP determines the sample frequencies, loads and
stores the filter coefficients, begins filter operation.
Digital to Analog Converter
The digital to analog converter (D/A) restores an analog waveform from the DSP output data word.
Reconstruction Filter
Smoothes the D/A waveform, removing sampling noise by limiting bandwidth to one-fourth the sampling
frequency.
Keypads
Keypads provide the user interface by means of left/right arrow parameter selection and up/down arrow choice.
In addition RESET restores a filter setup that was awaiting activation via the ENTER key. Bypass (BYP)
activates the special DSP bypass operation. The MODE key allows viewing of all display screens.
Display
Permits viewing of filter setup choices clip indicators and performance characteristics within four modes.
