  • Page 10 LIDAR, Time-of-Flight, Ultrasonics, Medical and Biomedical Research, etc.). In multi-record acquisition mode the acquisition memory is divided into a pre-selected number of records. Waveforms are stored in successive memory records as they arrive. Each waveform requires its own individual trigger. U5309A User's Manual...
  • Page 11 A very fast trigger rearm time is a crucial feature for multi-record acquisitions. Thanks to fast trigger rearm U5309A achieves very low “dead time” between the records of a multi-record acquisition. The “dead time” is the period after the end of an event when the card cannot digitize data for a new trigger event.
  • Page 12 Above this «limit », the driver returns a PostTrigger overflow. This limitation is given by the table below, where acquisition time = record size x sampling interval + post- trigger delay. Max acquisition time (in Sample rate seconds) 1.00E+09 68.72 U5309A User's Manual...
  • Page 13: Trigger

    ADC card will trigger on signals with a peak-to-peak amplitude > 0.5 V. The internal channel trigger of the U5309A, is implemented digitally and as such, the level may be configured via the driver, within the limits shown in the table below. "offset" and "range" refer to the channel's current Vertical Offset and Vertical Range settings.
  • Page 14 U5309A. Trigger precision and resolution The U5309A trigger time interpolator offers a resolution of 8 ps (nominal) and a precision of 15 ps RMS (nominal) . The channel trigger resolution and precision are both equal to 1 sample.

    Calibration Calibration The U5309A is factory calibrated ans shipped with a calibration certificate. The internal calibration refers to the adjustment of ADC card internal parameters, corresponding to user selected parameters and required before starting acquisition. Internal Calibration The internal calibration (or self-calibration) measures and adjusts the internal timing, gain and offset parameters between the ADCs and against a precise reference.
