Omega Speaker Systems PCI-DAS1001 manual ADC Pacer Clock Data and Control Registers, BADR3 +

7.5 BADR3

The I/O Region defined by BADR3 contains data and control registers for the ADC Pacer, Pre/Post-Trigger Counters, User Counters and Digital I/O bytes. The PCI-DAS1000 has two 8254 counter/timer devices. These are referred to as 8254A and 8254B and are assigned as shown below:

Device	Counter #	Function
8254A	0	ADC Post-Trigger Sample Counter
8254A	1	ADC Pacer Lower Divider
8254A	2	ADC Pacer Upper Divider
8254B	0	User Counter #3 & ADC Pre-Trigger Index
		Counter
8254B	1	User Counter #4
8254B	2	User Counter #5

All reads/writes to BADR3 are byte operations.

Counter 0 is used to stop the acquisition when the desired number of samples have been gathered. It essentially is gated on when a 'residual' number of conversions remain. The main counting of samples is done by the Interrupt Service Routine, which will increment each time by 'packets' equal to 1/2 FIFO. Generally the value loaded into Counter 0 is N mod 1024, where N is the total count, or the post trigger count, since Total count is not known when pre-trigger is active. Counter 0 will be enabled by use of the ARM bit (BADR1 + 4) when the next-to-last 1/2-full interrupt is processed. Counter 0 is to operated in Mode 0.
