2.5 Clock Selection The DAQ-16 is equipped with a programmable clock circuit to produce data sampling ratesindependent from the clock rate of the host computer. An onboard 8254 programmableinterval timer, with a 10 MHz clock input and either two or three cascaded 16-bit timers,provides the sampling ...
Page 18 - Internal Clock; Maximum sampling rate:
2.5.1 Internal Clock Sampling rates for the internal clock can be calculated using the following equation: t = 100ns * [N1*N2] or f = 10MHz / [N1*N2] where N1 is the low 16-bits of the clock divider and N2 is the high 16-bits of the clockdivider. The following criteria must be met when selecting val...
Page 19 - External Clock; min
When configured for a 48-bit divider, the first sampling period will be slightly longer thanthe others because the first clock period is required to load the initial value of themulti-function timer. The following equation calculates the additional time of the first period: t = 100ns * [N1 * N2] add...
Page 20 - Trigger Selection; DAQ-16 Users Manual 20
When the multi-function timer is used as a pre-divider, the frequency of the external clockinput may be varied from DC to 10 MHz as long as the high portion of the clock is at least30ns and the low portion is at least 50ns. Except for the first period, the sampling rate of theDAQ-16 will be the exte...
