BL3 to BL0 = BURST LENGTH. This nibble determines the number of conversions per trigger when in
the burst mode. There are one to sixteen samples (single-ended) or eight samples (differential) in a burst.
When the CIO-DAS1600 is not in the burst mode these bits have no function.
CTR0 = 1. When CTR0 = 1, an onboard 100 kHz clock signal is ANDed with the COUNTER 0 CLOCK
INPUT (pin 21). A high on pin 21 will allow pulses from the onboard source into the 8254 Counter 0
input. (This input has a pull-up resistor on it, so no connection is necessary to use the onboard clock as a
pacer clock.
CTR0 = 0. When CTR0 = 0, the input to 8254 Counter 0 is entirely dependent on pulses at pin 21,
COUNTER 0 CLOCK INPUT.
TRIG0 = 1. When TRIG0 = 1 external gating of the pacer clock at pin 25 is enabled. Pin 25 going high
will enable the pacer. The input at pin 25 is connected to a pull-up resistor and will remain high unless
pulled low externally.
TRIG0 = 0. When TRIG0 = 0, the gating of the pacer clock at pin 25 is disabled. The gates of counter 1
& 2 are held high, preventing external control of the pacer gate.
Figure 6-1 may help you understand these registers. They are further explained in literature covering the
8254.
