This section shows block diagram operation for the E1563A and E1564A
Digitizers, including digitizer block diagrams, power-on/reset states, and

Digitizer Block
Diagram
Figure 2-1 shows a block diagram of the E1564A 4-Channel Digitizer.
The E1563A 2-Channel Digitizer has the same internal structure without
channels 3 and 4. TRIG:LEVel <channel> signals drive the internal trigger
inputs, LEVel1 drives INT1, LEVel2 drives INT2, etc.
