Figure 3-9. Single-Module Multiplexed Scanning (Indirect)

Multiple-Module Multiplexed Scanning

In this mode, all the modules tie into Analog Bus 0, and SCANCON

enables the output of their amplifiers. The module that is directly cabled to

the data acquisition board sends SCANCLK onto TRIG0 for the other

modules and Slot 0, as illustrated in Figure3-10 . The scan list in Slot 0 is

programmed with the sequence of modules and the number of samples per

entry.
