Configuring the DAS-1700 Series
Keithley DAS-1700 Series
For each SSH-8 unit, select its number in the SSH # list box and enter the following
configuration parameters:
•
Base channel — Each SSH-8 replaces 8 DAS-1700 channels
determined by which accessory and SSH-8 connectors you use and the
offset jumper settings on the SSH-8. You can connect two SSH-8 units
to one accessory connector by daisy chaining them together using the
connectors inside the units. See the SSH-8 User’s Guide for details.
Select the base channel corresponding to the connectors you are using
for this SSH-8 unit:

•
Channel offset — click on an SSH-8 channel in the list and then select
the channel offset that corresponds to the position of the Output
Channel Jumper on the SSH-8. The list displays the number of the
DAS-1700 channel that the SSH-8 channel replaces.
Usually, you would configure all channels on a directly connected SSH-
8 to the lower offset channels (0-7) and all channels on a daisy-chain
connected SSH-8 to the higher offset channels (8-15).
•
Channel gain — click on an SSH-8 channel in the list and then select its
SSH-8 external amplifier gain. SSH-8FG models have a fixed gain of
0.5. SSH-8SG models have switches to set the gain of each channel.

Generator: Internal Clocking” on page 41 or “Rate Generator: External Clocking” on

Disable AO recycle mode
For the DAS-1700AO hardware, DriverLINX can automatically promote AO tasks
meeting certain criteria to run from the DAC FIFO buffer in recycle mode. If the
Disable AO recycle mode box is checked, DriverLINX will not use recycle mode. If
the box is not checked, DriverLINX will use recycle mode for applicable tasks.
In recycle mode, DriverLINX automatically promotes AO tasks meeting the
following criteria as specified in the Service Request to run from the DAC FIFO
buffer in re-cycle mode:
