4.2 Function of Each Assembly AD4 Board (or AD2 Board for the DL1720) Assembly The AD4 board (or AD2 board for the DL1720) assembly has the time base, trigger, A/D converter, and analog control circuits onboard. The time base is of a PLL configuration. 1 GHz and 800 MHz can be switched. On the DL1720/DL1740, the frequency of the clock is converted to 500 MHz or 400 MHz using high-speed ECL logic and distributed to each channel.

Controls the exchange of signals between the CPU, KEY, ACQ4 (or the ACQ2 for the DL1720), and AD board assemblies and a printer assembly. Supplies output from the power supply unit to the CPU, KEY, ADP and ACQ4 board (or the ACQ2 board for the DL1720) assemblies and a printer assembly.
4.2 Function of Each Assembly/4.3 Function of Each ASIC Zip Board Assembly (-J2) The Zip board assembly is an adapter which connects the Zip drive to the CPU board. I/F Board Assembly (Optional) The I/F board assembly supports both SCSI I/F and serial I/F, and is controlled by the CPU and CPU I/O interface (CIO) on the CPU board.
Page 31
4.3 Function of Each ASIC Graphic Control Processor (GCP) The GCP is a CMOS gate array. Its functions include interfacing to the acquisition memory interface (AMI), graphic memory and character memory control, a waveform drawing function (accumulated display, for example), built-in printer control, and display data generation for the LCD.
