The maximum frequency of the start pulse must not exceed 9MHz (for R312 & R322) and 7MHz (for R212). Do not forget to save the ini file after any changes you make and restart the software. For further information check the software manual. Note SC-TDC-1100 Series Manual | Surface Concept GmbH... - Page 14 Note measured start signal. Therefore, if the signals are varying in amplitude, one needs to process them by external electronics components (e.g. constant fraction discriminators, CFDs).
