Page 19: Product Description
Product Description 3.1. Overview Signal Input Input Signal Amplifier Ohms Ohms trigger Input Trigger Signal Amplifier Ohms Ohms Acqiris digitizers are available in two popular industry standards. The DP series digitizers are PCI modules that plug directly into a vacant PCI slot in a PC. The PCI Bus is a well-defined industry standard. The DC series products are CompactPCI/PXI compliant and require an appropriate CompactPCI crate. -
Page 20: Channel Input
3.2. Channel Input 3.2.1. Coupling Both AC and DC coupling modes are available. The AC mode couples signals capacitively thus removing the input signal’s DC component and filtering out any signal component below 16 Hz for the DC2x1A digitizers, 32 Hz for the DC271-FAMILY and 10 Hz for all other models. - Page 21 Bandwidth Bandwidth/ Model into 50 Ω Capacitance Agilent # into 1 MΩ 150 MHz 150 MHz DP105 8 pF U1067A 250 MHz DP106 250 MHz 250 MHz DP110 8 pF U1067A 500 MHz DP111 500 MHz 400 MHz DP210 8 pF...

Page 25: Acquisition Memory
3.3.2. Acquisition Memory Data from the ADC is stored in on-board acquisition memory. The amount of memory in use for acquisition can be programmed and is selectable from 1 point to the full amount of acquisition memory available. For technical reasons, a certain memory “overhead” is required for each waveform, reducing the available memory by a small amount. -

when the AS bus is present. The number of segments (Ns) available per bank (Nb) must respect the constraint that the total Nb * Ns < 1000. 3.3.5. Timing A crystal-controlled timebase is used to clock the ADC system of the digitizers. The timebase accuracy is guaranteed as shown in the table at the beginning of this section. -
Page 27: Trigger Coupling
The U1071A-FAMILY also gives the choice of 50 Ω or 1 MΩ termination impedance for the MCX external input and has diode protection against overload. However, there are no BW limiters and only DC trigger coupling is available. In all 50 Ω cases a ±5 V limit on trigger signals should be respected, although somewhat higher voltages for short time periods will not damage the unit. -
Page 28: Pre- And Post-Trigger Delay
These states can be logically combined with AND, OR, NAND, or NOR to define the overall trigger condition. Potential triggers can then occur on the FALSE to TRUE transitions of the combined signal. There is a small (~ns) delay between the times at which two simultaneous inputs arrive at the logical element that defines the overall trigger condition. -
Page 29: Internal Calibration
The U1071A-FAMILY has a fixed threshold and uses AC coupling. Otherwise, the transitions of the clock are defined with the aid of a threshold that is user selectable in the range [-2.0 V, 2.0 V] ([-3.0 V, 3.0 V] for the DC240). The signals should not exceed ±5 V amplitude. -

Page 33: Running The Acqirislive Application
Running the AcqirisLive Application AcqirisLive is an application to control and demonstrate the capabilities of Acqiris digitizers on a single machine. AcqirisMAQS is more advanced application offering many interesting possibilities for the control of acquisition systems in a single or multi-machine environment. Ask your sales representative or Agilent Acqiris Support for more information. -

Other controls in the control panel allow you to select the optimal acquisition settings for your particular signal. Each of the other control panel functions will be discussed in detail in the following Control Panel Functions section. Here is a sample result. 4.2. -
Page 35: Displaying Multiple Traces
Oscilloscope Mode 4.2.2. Displaying Multiple Traces If multi-channel modules, or several single channel modules, are installed on the PCI bus, multiple waveform displays, one from each installed channel, are overlaid on the display. The current channel is selected by clicking on the channel name within the upper portion of the control panel. The vertical settings of the current channel and the timebase and trigger of the correspondent digitizer are then indicated. -

Page 38: Acquisition Mode
4.2.7. Acquisition Mode waveforms acquired per second by the digitizer. The use of each of the acquisition modes is described below. In the discussion, a valid trigger indicates a trigger signal meeting the trigger conditions at a time when the digitizer is armed and ready to acquire data. -
Page 39: Using Digitizers Of Different Models Simultaneously
4.2.9. Using digitizers of different models simultaneously AcqirisLive features a single timebase (i.e. the set of acquisition parameters pertaining to the time axis of the waveform, such as the sampling rate and the number of samples). It is therefore not possible to specify different timebase settings for different digitizers. -
Page 40: Top Line Menu Of Acqirislive
When expanding a waveform to the point where individual data points are seen, it may be desirable to use the “Connect data points” option under the Options menu in AcqirisLive. When this option is selected, larger data points are drawn on the display and a line connects each point. The main display window contains a drop down selector that controls the display type for both the main display and the zoom window. - Page 41 2. The Autostore option allows you to store consecutively acquired waveforms from all of the active channels into files. Configuration of Autostore is achieved by selecting the Autostore item under the Store menu. Autostore brings up the dialog box shown here. Three formats are available for stored waveforms, Binary, Raw ADC values, and Amplitude values (in Volts).

row, the first column contains the difference t average value of the t in the left column and the standard deviation of the t The “Show Parameters” option activates a display of pulse parameters for each active channel. Inactive channels will have parameter values of 0.0. - Page 44 Acqiris averagers can be operated in Averager Mode or in standard Digitizer Mode. AcqirisLive operates in either mode, but since these are mutually exclusive, only instruments that support the chosen mode are accessible in any given mode. E.g. only averagers are accessible in Averager Mode, while both digitizers and averagers are accessible in Digitizer Mode.
- Page 45 completed. This thread is put to sleep, and wakes up upon reception of the interrupt from the instrument, or after a 2 seconds timeout. Please note that switching the DMA data transfer mode off precludes the use of acquisition interrupts. The –i switch will therefore be ignored when –n is used.

Page 46: Running The Geographic Mapper Application
Running the Geographic Mapper Application 5.1. Who needs a Geographical Map of Modules The Geographic Mapper application gives the user the possibility of telling the Acqiris driver crucial details of the physical position of modules when this information cannot be deduced directly. It allows the driver to correctly adjust trigger and clock delays between the different modules of an AS bus multi-Instrument and arrange the modules in an intuitive order. - Page 47 correspond to your expectations you may have hardware problems (unpowered, broken, or badly cabled crates or modules). The next step is to associate each bus segment with a physical crate. The menu to do this is shown below: Selecting a row will cause all of the LED's of modules in that Bus to be turned on RED. This should make it easy to identify which crate the modules are in.
- Page 48 The final step is to actuate the Save button so that the final configuration will be memorized and made available to the driver. The Geographic Mapper application will always work with the standard AqGeo.map file. If you need to have several such files corresponding to different configurations it is up to you to either rename the files or transfer them to other directories in an appropriate manner.
