).

Counter input

The

CTR

terminal is a 32-bit event counter that can accept frequency inputs up to 1 MHz. The internal counter

increments when the TTL levels transition from low to high.

Trigger input

The

TRIG_IN

terminal is an external digital trigger input. The trigger mode is set for edge sensitive, and is

configurable for rising or falling edge. On power up and reset the trigger mode is set for rising edge.

SYNC I/O

The

SYNC

terminal is a bidirectional I/O signal that can be configured as an input (default) or an output.

Configure as an external clock input to externally source the A/D conversions. The SYNC terminal

supports TTL-level input signals of up to 50 kHz.

Configure as an output to pace conversions on a second USB-1608FS device and acquire data from

16 channels. For more information about synchronized operations see page 17.

Calibration output

The

CAL

terminal is an output that is used to calibrate the USB-1608FS. Do not use this pin for any other

purpose. Calibration is software-controlled by InstaCal.
