Page 25: Software
Software Software Overview Software This chapter gives you an overview about the structure of the drivers and the software, where to find and how to use the examples. It detailed shows how the drivers are included under different programming languages and where the differences are when calling the driver functions from different programming languages. -
Page 26: C/C++ Driver Interface
C/C++ Driver Interface Software C/C++ Driver Interface C/C++ is the main programming language for which the drivers have been build up. Therefore the interface to C/C++ is the best match. All the small examples of the manual showing different parts of the hardware programming are done with C. Header files The basic task before using the driver is to include the header files that are delivered on CD together with the board. -
Page 27: Other Windows C/C++ Compilers
Software C/C++ Driver Interface Examples Examples can be found on CD in the path /Examples/linux. There is one subdirectory for each board family. You’ll find board specific ex- amples for that family there. The examples are bus type independent. As a result that means that the MI30xx directory contains examples for the MI.30xx, the MC.30xx and the MX.30xx families. - Page 28 C/C++ Driver Interface Software Using the Driver under Linux: hDrv = open ("/dev/spc0", O_RDWR); close (hDrv); Function SpcSetParam All hardware settings are based on software registers that can be set by the function SpcSetParam. This function sets a register to a defined value or executes a command.
- Page 29 Software C/C++ Driver Interface Function SpcSetData (Windows) int16 SpcSetData (int16 nr, int16 ch, int32 start, int32 len, dataptr data); Under Linux the additional parameter nBytesPerSample must be used for this function. For all boards with 8 bit resolution the parameter is „1“, for all boards with 12, 14 or 16 bit resolution this parameter has to be „2“.

Page 34: Programming The Board
Overview Programming the Board Programming the Board Overview The following chapters show you in detail how to program the different aspects of the board. For every topic there’s a small example. For the examples we focussed on Visual C++. However as shown in the last chapter the differences in programming the board under different programming languages are marginal. -
Page 35: Initialization
Programming the Board Initialization This means as a result that it is not necessary to check each driver call for an error but to check for an error before the board is started to see whether all settings have been valid. By reading all the error information one can easily examine where the error occured. -
Page 36: Hardware Version
Initialization Programming the Board Hardware version Since all of the MI, MC and MX boards from Spectrum are modular boards, they consist of one base board and one or two (only PCI and CompactPCI) piggy-back modules. This register SPC_PCIVERSION gives information about the revision of either the base board and the mod- ules. -

Page 39: Analog Outputs
Analog Outputs Channel Selection Analog Outputs Channel Selection One key setting that influences all other possible settings is the channel enable register. An unique feature of the Spectrum boards is the possibility to program the number of channels you want to use. All on-board memory can then be used by these activated channels. This description shows you the channel enable register for the complete board family. -
Page 40: Setting Up The Outputs
Channel Selection Analog Outputs Setting up the outputs Output Amplifiers This arbitrary waveform generator board uses separate output am- plifiers for each channel. This gives you the possibility to seperately set up the channel outputs to best suit your application The output amplifiers can easily be set by the corresponding am- plitude registers. -
Page 41: Output Filters
Analog Outputs Channel Selection In order not to generate distorted signals it is nec- essary to keep the total output range as a combina- tion of the set amplitude and offset within a range of ±3000 mV. If this limit is exceeded a heavy distorted signal will be seen and the signals waveform will be cut off at the maximum range of +3000 mV or at the mini- mum range of -3000 mV. -
Page 42: Standard Generation Modes
General description Standard generation modes Standard generation modes General description The generated data is replayed from the on-board memory. These modes allows generating waveforms at very high sample rates without the need to transfer the data into the board’s on-board memory at high speed. These modes are running totally independent from the PC and don’t need any processing power after being started. - Page 43 Standard generation modes Programming Maximum memsize n.a. n.a. How to read this table: If you have installed the standard amount of 8 MSample on your 6111 board and you want to replay all four channels, you have a total maximum memory of 16 MSample * 1/4 = 4 MSample per channel for your data. The maximum settings for the post counter are limited by the hardware, because the post counter has a limited range for counting.

Page 47: Fifo Mode
FIFO Mode Overview FIFO Mode Overview General Information The FIFO mode allows to record data continuously and trans- fer it online to the PC (acquisition boards) or allows to write data continuously from the PC to the board (generation boards). Therefore the on-board memory of the board is used as a continuous buffer. -

Page 50: Fifo Mode
Example FIFO generation mode FIFO Mode If one knows before starting FIFO mode how long this should run it is possible to program the number of buffers that the driver should process. After transferring this number of buffer the driver will automatically stop. If FIFO mode should run endless a zero must be programmed to this register. -
Page 51: Data Organization
FIFO Mode Example FIFO generation mode Before starting the FIFO output all software buffers must be filled once with data. The driver immediately transfers data to the hardware after receiving the start command. Data organization When using FIFO mode data in memory is organized in some cases a little bit different then in standard mode. This is a result of the internal hardware structure of the board. -
Page 52: Clock Generation
Overview Clock generation Clock generation Overview The Spectrum boards offer a wide variety of different clock modes to match all the customers needs. All the clock modes are described in detail with programming examples below. This chapter simply gives you an overview which clock mode to select: Standard internal sample rate PLL with internal 40 MHz reference. -

Maximum internal sample rate in MS/s in FIFO mode Remapped channels n.a. n.a. 62.5 Using plain quartz without PLL In some cases it is useful for the application not to have the on-board PLL activated. Although the PLL used on the Spectrum boards is a low- jitter version it still produces more clock jitter than a plain quartz oscillator. -
Page 54: External Clocking
External clocking Clock generation External clocking Direct external clock An external clock can be fed in on the external clock connector of the board. This can be any clock, that matches the specification of the card. The external clock signal can be used to synchronize the card on a system clock or to feed in an exact matching sample rate.

Page 56: Trigger Modes And Appendant Registers
General Description Trigger modes and appendant registers Trigger modes and appendant registers General Description Concerning the trigger modes of the Spectrum MI, MC and MX D/A boards, you can choose between three external TTL trigger modes and one internal software trigger. This chapter is about to explain the different trigger modes and setting up the board’s registers for the desired mode. -
Page 57: Edge Triggers
Trigger modes and appendant registers External TTL trigger As the trigger connector is used as an input, you can decide whether the input is 50 Ohm terminated or not. If you enable the termination, please make sure, that your trigger source is capable to deliver the desired current. If termination is disabled, the input is at high impedance. Register Value Direction... - Page 58 External TTL trigger Trigger modes and appendant registers Positive and negative TTL trigger This mode is for detecting the rising and falling edges of an ex- ternal TTL signal. The board will trigger on the first rising or falling edge that is detected after starting the board. The next trigger- event will then be detected, if the actual recording/replay has fin- ished and the board is armed and waiting for a trigger again.
-
Page 59: Option Multiple Replay
Option Multiple Replay Output modes Option Multiple Replay The option Multiple Replay allows the generation of data blocks with multiple trigger events without restarting the hardware. The on-board memory will be divided into several segments of the same size. Each segment will be replayed when a trigger event occures. Output modes Standard Mode With every detected trigger event one data block is replayed. -

Page 61: Option Gated Replay
Option Gated Replay Output modes Option Gated Replay The option Gated Replay allows the data generation controlled by an external gate signal. Data will only be output, if the programmed gate condition is true. Output modes Standard Mode Data will be replayed as long as the gate signal fulfills the gate condition that has had to be programmed before. -
Page 62: Alignement Samples Per Channel
Trigger modes Option Gated Replay Due to the structure of the on-board memory there is an- other delay at the end of the gate interval. Internally a gate-end signal can only be recognized at an eight samples alignment. So depending on what time your external gate signal will leave the programmed gate condition it might hap- pen that at maximum seven more samples are replayed, before the board pauses (see figure). -
Page 63: Number Of Samples On Gate Signal
Option Gated Replay Example program Number of samples on gate signal As described above there’s a delay at the start of the gate interval due to the internal memory structure. However this delay can be partly compensated by internal pipelines resulting in a data delay that even can be negative showing the trigger event (acquisition mode only). This data delay is listed in an extra table. -
Page 64: Option Extra I/O
Digital I/Os Option Extra I/O Option Extra I/O Digital I/Os With this simple-to-use enhancement it is possible to control a wide range of external instruments or other equipment. Therefore you have several digital I/Os and the 4 analog outputs available. All extra I/O lines are completely independent from the board’s function, data di- rection or sample rate and directly controlled by software (asynchronous I/Os). -
Page 65: Analog Outputs
Option Extra I/O Analog Outputs Analog Outputs In addition to the digital I/Os there are four analog outputs available. These outputs are directly programmed with the voltage values in mV. As the analog outputs are driven by a 12 bit DAC, the output voltage can be set in a stepsize of 5 mV. The table below shows the registers, you must write the desired levels too. -
Page 66: Synchronization (Option)
The different synchronization options Synchronization (Option) Synchronization (Option) This option allows the connection of multiple boards to generate a multi-channel system. It is possible to synchronize multiple Spectrum boards of the same type as well as different board types. Therefore the synchronized boards must be linked concerning the board’s system clock and the trigger signals. -
Page 67: The Setup Order For The Different Synchronization Options
Synchronization (Option) The setup order for the different synchronization options When the boards are synchronized by the option starhub there will be no delay between the connected boards. This is achieved as all boards, including the one the starhub module is mounted on, are connected to the starhub with cables of the same length. - Page 68 The setup order for the different synchronization options Synchronization (Option) Example for data writing SpcSetData (hDrv[0], 0, 0, 1024, pData[0]); SpcSetData (hDrv[1], 0, 0, 1024, pData[1]); SpcSetData (hDrv[2], 0, 0, 1024, pData[2]); (4) Define the board(s) for trigger master At least one board must be set as the trigger master to get synchronization running. Every one of the synchronized boards can be programmed for beeing the trigger master device.
- Page 69 Synchronization (Option) The setup order for the different synchronization options Even if a board is not using the synchronization trigger, it before must be set as a triggerslave with the SPC_SYNCTRIGGERSLAVE command. After you have excluded one or more of the installed boards from the synchronization trigger it is possible to change the triggermodes of these boards.
