NeuroNexus SmartBox Instruction Manual page 34

The SmartBox supports saving on-chip temperature sensor readings. The following number is saved in these versions, indicating the number of tem-
™
perature sensors recorded. This number is typically equal to the number of SmartLink headstages plugged into the SPI ports, or zero if the temperature
recording option is disabled. Note that some file formats do not support saving temperature sensor data; in those formats, this number will always be
zero.

int16 Number of temperature sensors
The SmartBox also saves the "board mode". This integer is set by FPGA digital input pins in the SmartBox
™
that the on-board ADCs operate over a range of 0-3.3V; a board mode of one indicates that the on-board ADCs operate over a range of ±5.0V.
int16 Board mode
The next number indicates the number of "signal groups" present in the data file. This number is typically equal to seven: Port A, Port B, Port C, Port D,
Board ADC Inputs, Board Digital Inputs, and Board Digital Outputs.

Number of temperature sensor channels saved in file. This number is set to
zero if the option for saving temperature data is not selected.
Integer ranging from 0-15 indicating global properties of the evaluation board
Each "signal group" includes all signals from a particular SPI port or the
SmartBox ADC or digital inputs. There will typically be seven signal groups
™
representing the six items listed under "Ports" in the GUI, plus Board Digital
Outputs.
