Whattypes o f triggeringcan b e implemented in hardwareon my
ATE Series device?
Digital triggering is supported by hardware on everyAT E Series MIO
device.In addition, the AT-MIO-16E-1, AT-MIO-16E-2,AT-MIO-64E-3,
AT-MIO-16XE-10,and AT-AI-16XE-10support analog triggering in
hardware.
Whatadded functionality does the DAQ-STC make possible in
contrastto theAm9513?
The DAQ-STCincorporates much more than just 10 Am9513-style
counterswithin one chip. In fact, the DAQ-STC has the complexity of more
than24 chips. The DAQ-STC makes possible PFI lines, analog triggering,
selectable logic level,and frequency shift keying. The DAQ-STC also
makesbuffered operations possible, such as direct up/down control, single
orp ulse train generation, equivalenttime sampling, buffered period, and
bufferedsemiperiod measurement.
Whatis the difference in timebases between the Am9513 counter/timer
andt he DAQ-STC?
The DAQ-STC-basedMIO devices have a 20 MHz timebase. The
Am9513-basedMIO devices have a 1 MHz or 5 MHz timebase.
