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
connector 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
connector can output up to 10 mA maximum. You can use this connector to supply power to external
devices or circuitry.
Ground
The analog ground (
AGND
) connectors provide a common ground for all analog channels.
The digital ground (
GND
) connectors provide a common ground for the digital, counter, timer, and clock
channels and the power connector.
