Introduction Additional options Additional options Digital inputs This option allows the user to acquire additional digital channels synchronous and phase-stable along with the analog data. Therefore the analog data is filled up with the digital bits up to 16 Bit data width. This leads to a possibility of acquiring 4 additional digital bits per channel with 12 bit res- olution boards, and 2 additional digital bits per channel with 14 bit resolution boards. The connectors for these digital inpu

Additional options Introduction Starhub The star hub module allows the synchronisation of up to 16 MC boards. It is possible to synchronise boards of the same type with each other as well as different types. The module acts as a star hub for clock and trigger signals. Each board is connected with a small cable of the same length, even the master board. That minimises the clock skew between the different boards. The figure shows the piggyback module mounted on the base board schematically wit

System Requirements Hardware Installation Hardware Installation System Requirements All Spectrum MC.xxxx instrumentation boards are compliant to the CompactPCI 6U standard and require in general one free slot. Depending on the installed options additional free slots can be necessary. Warnings ESD Precautions The boards of the MC.xxxx series contain electronic components that can be damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD). Before installing the board in your system or even before touching it, i

Hardware Installation Installing the board in the system Installing a board with digital inputs/outputs The locks on the top and bottom side of both CompactPCI brackets need to be unlocked and opened before installing the board into a free slot of the system. Therefore you need to press the little buttons on the inside of the fasteners and move them outwards (see figure). Now slowly insert the card into the host system using the key ways until both locks snap in with a „click“. While inserting

Interrupt Sharing Software Driver Installation Software Driver Installation Before using the board a driver must be installed that matches the operating system. The installation is done in different ways depending on the used operating system. The driver that is on CD supports all boards of the MI, MC and MX series. That means that you can use the same driver for all boards of theses families. Interrupt Sharing This board uses a PCI interrupt for DMA data transfer and for controlling the FIFO
