Trigger input

The

TRIG

connector 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

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.
