Maximum memsize

How to read this table: If you have installed the standard amount of 8 MSample on your 6111 board and you want to replay all four channels,

you have a total maximum memory of 16 MSample * 1/4 = 4 MSample per channel for your data.

The maximum settings for the post counter are limited by the hardware, because the post counter has a limited range for counting. The settings

depend on the number of activated channels, as the table below is showing.

Maximum posttrigger in MSamples

The amount of memory that can be either set for the used memsize and postcounter values can only be set by certain steps. These steps are

results of the internal memory organization. For this reason these steps also define the minimum size for the data memory and the postcounter.

The values depend on the number of activated channels and on the type of board being used. The minimum stepsizes for setting up the mem-

size and the postcounter are shown in the table below.
