Page 42: Horizontal Axis Setting
The horizontal axis setting becomes the common setting contents for plural channels. Reference clock CONTEC digitizer uses LVTTL signal of 10MHz, duty ratio of 50% as a reference clock. The reference clock of 10MHz is a frequency that can be used by most measuring instruments. - Page 43 When the digitizer is used in the oscilloscope mode, the latest acquisition data is transferred after waiting for the on-board memory to ensure space. Therefore, the loss should occur to the acquired waveform though the operation of the digitizer never stops. DIG-100M1002-PCI...

Page 44: Vertical Axis Setting
This product has the following ten kinds of ranges, the waveform of the analog signal can be digitalized by selecting an appropriate input range according to the voltage range of the input signal. The input range is mainly described in a full scale range for CONTEC digitizer. Input range Full-scale range (FSR) ±20V... - Page 45 The resistance of the signal input circuit (digitizer board) is called an input impedance. The input impedance can be set to 50Ω or 1MΩ for CONTEC digitizer board. The current flows to the digitizer when the input impedance of the digitizer is low, and the measurement result is influenced by the voltage descent.

10V and an offset of 0V. By doing so, data before and after the generation of this trigger are respectively digitized as pre-trigger sample and post-trigger sample, and plural record waves consist of sample data with the same shape.

Page 48: Waveform Judgment Setting
When synchronization start is used, the driver function doesn't return the control until the the digitizer stopped operating. Therefore, the application cannot do other processing until the digitizer stopped operating. On the other hand, the programming becomes concise for there’s no need to detect the operation completion of the digitizer. DIG-100M1002-PCI... -
