    FMC-Pico-1M4 User’s Manual 3. Controlling the FMC 3.1 Digital Interface The ADCs simultaneous conversion is controlled by CNV signal. A rising edge on CNV will starts the conversion of the 4 input channels. Once a conversion has been initiated, it cannot be restarted until the conversion is completed. For optimum performance, CNV should be driven by a clean low jitter signal.
