Figure 4-1: Scan Timing
There are four trigger modes to start the scan acquisition. Refer to
section 4.1 for details. The data transfer mode is discussed in the
following section.
NOTES
The maximum A/D sampling rate is 250 MHz. Therefore,
the minimum setting of SI2_counter is 160 when using
the internal TIMEBASE.
The SI_counter is a 24-bit counter and the SI2_counter is
a 16-bit counter. The maximum scan interval using the in-
ternal Timebase = 2
24
/40 Ms = 0.419 s, and the maxi-
mum sampling interval between two channels using the
internal Timebase = 2
16
/40 Ms = 1.638 ms.
The scan interval may not be smaller than the product of
the data sampling interval and the NumChan_counter
value. The relationship can be represented as:
SI_counter>=SI2_counter * NumChan_counter.
