Two quantities are selected for the front panel CH1 and CH2 analog outputs. These
outputs may be expanded (by 10 or 100) before being sent to the output digital-to-analog
converters. The outputs are buffered to
The output update rate for X and Y is between 48 and 96 kHz for time constant filter
slopes of 6 and 12 dB/oct as well as No Filter. The X and Y update rate for 18 and 24
dB/oct filtering is 4 times slower, or 12-24 kHz. The update rate for R and
12-24 kHz.
Two quantities are also selected for the front panel displays. Each of these may be
expanded (by 10 or 100) before being sent to the host processor for display and storage.

The Host Processor

The host processor provides the interface between the front panel, the instrument
configuration, the DSP and the remote ports (GPIB and RS-232). The host processor
receives the front panel output values from the DSP and displays them and sends the data
to the remote ports. The host also computes X-noise and Y-noise from the X and Y data.
