(d) All reply mode (available for V1.04 or later) Regarding "all reply mode", NCT08-01B's reply is "OK" if the command has been processed. On the other hand, NCT08-01B's reply is "NG" if the command haven't been processed. Regarding the case of "OK", it shows that the processing has been advanced.
(GATE EDGE MODE) This mode is available for hardware version 1~ (HD-VER 1~). Count data is stored on the memory at the falling edge of GATE signal. Counter starts at the first falling edge of GATE signal after STRT command. START(COMM) "H"...
Inputting "STOP" command, data acquisition stops immediately. 4-4 Synchronous internal clock data acquisition commands In this mode, data acquisition is synchronized by clock generated by NCT08-01B. It's necessary to preset the value of clock ON time and clock OFF. External gate input signal works gate signal during data acquisition operation.
(Just after turn on power, it's stop condition) Entering this command after preparation of section 4-2-1~3 and 4-3-1~2, NCT08-01B starts synchronous clock signal data acquisition. It stores signal data from current data address to end data address synchronized by clock signal.
