Time base
The calculated time base is indicated in this window. This must not be less than
5 ns or greater than 1000 ns for proper operation.
General options
The “General options” dialog lets you enable and disable the channel outputs
and lock or unlock the panel buttons. To open this dialog, click “Set LC220
options…” under the Actions menu.
Disable/enable outputs
Disabling outputs prevents the LC220 from sending trigger pulses to its output
connectors regardless of the inputs or the actions of the channels. Enabling the
outputs allows the LC220 to send trigger pulses to its output connectors. These
functions are nonvolatile: the enabled and disabled states are restored on power
cycle.
Lock/unlock panel
Lock or unlock the front panel buttons using the “Lock Panel” and “Unlock
Panel” buttons. This functionality is handy, for example, in an embedded control
application where the LC220 should function only in stand-alone or computer-
controlled modes. When the panel is locked the buttons are not illuminated.
When the panel is unlocked, the front-panel buttons are illuminated.
Like the enable/disable I/O functions, these settings are nonvolatile and are
restored on power up.
