  • Page 9: Installing Single Or Multiple/Independent Compuscope Compactpci/Pxi Cards

    Select the required number of unused full-sized 6U CompactPCI expansion slots. You need one slot for the following cards: CompuScope 82GC; CompuScope 85GC; CompuScope 14100C-1M; CompuScope 1610C-1M, CompuScope 3200C-2MB. You will need two slots for the following cards with 8M or more memory: CompuScope 1610C, CompuScope 14100C, or CompuScope 3200C.
  • Page 10 Unfasten the screw holding the unused slot’s frontplate and remove it. For the following cards with 8M or more memory: CompuScope 1610C, CompuScope 14100C, or CompuScope 3200C, remove two adjacent frontplates. Figure 1: Unscrew the slot’s frontplate and remove it Installing single or multiple/independent CompuScope CompactPCI/PXI cards...
  • Page 11 Open the card handles. This is essential for the card to slide into the CompactPCI slot. If these handles are closed, gently press on the red tabs. This action will cause the handles to open. Please note that the connectors in the illustration below may not be identical to your CompuScope card. We are using a CompuScope 14100C for this example, but the card handles work the same way on all the CompuScope CompactPCI/PXI cards.
  • Page 12 Insert the CompuScope card into the empty slot. Ensure that the card slides into the card guides on the chassis. Some CompactPCI chassis have air deflectors installed in unused slots. If the card does not insert in the chassis, check for and remove the air deflector before inserting the card.

    Please note that, unlike other types of CompuScope cards, multiple CS85GC cards cannot be configured as a Master/Slave Multi-Card system. Multi-Card CompuScope 85GC systems must be installed and operated as a Multiple-Independent Multi-Card system. If you are installing a Multiple/Independent system, follow the instructions listed in the previous section, Installing single or multiple/independent CompuScope CompactPCI/PXI , for installing each of the cards.

    Multiple Record for CompuScope 14100C and CompuScope 1610C Please note: the CompuScope 85GC and CompuScope 3200C do not support Multiple Record. See next page for details on Multiple Record for the CompuScope 82G. Even though the CompactPCI bus allows very fast data throughput to system RAM, there may still be applications in which data bursts cannot be off-loaded either because of very fast trigger repeat frequency or because of software limitations.

  • Page 27: Memory Organization On Compuscopes (Except For The Cs85Gc)

    Memory organization on CompuScopes (except for the CS85GC) Please note: for memory organization on the CompuScope 85GC, please refer to the next section. Memory architecture CompuScope cards have high-speed on-board memory to store the digital data for the CompactPCI bus to access it in post-processing mode.
  • Page 28 A graphical representation of the above sequence is as follows: Figure 16: Pre-Trigger: all data points in buffer valid In the diagram above, the circular memory buffer is shown as a ring with the physical memory address ZERO at the top. Data storage is shown as a spiraling line going clockwise. Storage starts at address ZERO and keeps on writing into the memory until it is filled (the spiraling line completes a circle) and then starts overwriting the data stored in addresses ZERO, 1, 2...
  • Page 29 This situation is illustrated below: Figure 17: Pre-Trigger: not all data points in buffer valid This condition can be detected by looking at the RAMFULL bit in the STATUS register. This bit is reset to ZERO when a start_capture command is issued and is set to ONE when the memory counters overflow from FFFFF to ZERO, for example.
  • Page 30 Notes Memory organization on CompuScopes (except for CS85GC)

  • Page 31: Memory Organization On Compuscope 85Gc

    Memory organization on CompuScope 85GC FISO memory architecture CompuScope 85GC uses a very unique memory system that uses on-chip analog memory cells that can store the instantaneous value of the input voltage at a particular time. By using 10,000 such cells for each of the input channels, CompuScope 85GC can offer acquisition depth of 10,000 points per channel.
  • Page 32 It is clear from the diagram shown above that memory address ZERO is not necessarily the first point, or Start Address, of the signal being captured. In fact, the physical address ZERO has very little significance in such a system, as the trigger can happen at any time. CompuScope 85GC memory organization...

However, if you have not already installed GageScope, or if you do not wish to install it at this point, Gage provides a simple application, CSTest+ for CompuScope 3.82 drivers (or CSTest for CompuScope 3.60 drivers) that allows you to capture signals and verify the correct operation of your new CompuScope card.

  • Page 61: Section 3 - Verifying Signal Acquisition With Cstest

    Section 3 – Verifying signal acquisition with CSTest+ CSTest+ is a utility program that allows acquisition and display of data from a CompuScope card using CompuScope 3.82 drivers. It acts as a test to ensure that your CompuScope card(s) is fully functional. Now that you have successfully installed the CompuScope drivers and have tested driver installation with the CompuScope Manager utility, you can run CSTest+ to verify that these drivers are properly communicating with your CompuScope card(s).
