Figure 7 shows the jumper configured for pull-up and pull-down.

Caution! The discharge of static electricity can damage some electronic components. Before touching the

board, ground yourself using a wrist strap or touch the computer chassis or other grounded object
to eliminate any stored static charge.

Trigger input

The

TRIG

terminal is an external digital trigger input. The trigger mode is software selectable for edge or level

sensitive.

 Edge sensitive mode is configurable for rising or falling edge.
 Level sensitive mode is configurable for high or low level.

The default setting at power up is edge sensitive, rising edge.

Counter input

The

CTR

terminal is a 32-bit event counter that can accept frequency inputs up to 10 MHz. The internal counter

increments when the TTL levels transition from low to high.

Power output

The

+VO

terminal can output up to 10 mA maximum. You can use this terminal to supply power to external

devices or circuitry.

Ground

The analog ground (

AGND

) terminals provide a common ground for all analog channels.

The digital ground (

GND

) terminals provide a common ground for the digital, counter, timer, and clock

channels and the power terminal.
