SYNC1500-6 Features
- High Speed Clock and Trigger Driver
- 1 Clock or Reference Clock Input
- 1 Trigger Input
- 6 Clock, Trigger and Sync Output Channels
- Programmable Onboard Clock up To 1500 MHz
- PCI Express (PCIe) x1 Interface to the PC
- Provides Precise Clock and Triggers for Synchronizing up to 6 Data Acquisition
The SYNC1500-6 (SYNC) was created to allow for both high board (or channel) count master/slave synchronized A/D and D/A systems as well as increased system scalability. With the SYNC card module, synchronized channel record or playback systems are no longer bound to single chassis configurations and can span multiple chassis, which allows for significantly greater I/O and processing resources versus a single chassis system.
The SYNC provides clock and trigger distribution for up to 6 data acquisition and signal generator boards. It also provides 6 Sync Pulse outputs that are required for synchronizing the ADCs on multiple PX1500 boards. When utilized in conjunction with the PX1500-4, a system can be mechanized incorporating up to 24 channels of fully synchronized, very-high-speed data acquisition.
The SYNC board is designed for PC systems and utilizes a single lane PCI Express bus (PCIe) interface. This PCIe x1 interface is plug-in compatible with all PCIe lane configurations (x1, x4, x8 and x16).
An onboard frequency synthesized clock allows the ADC sampling rate to be set to any value from 25 MHz to 1500 MHz, offering maximum flexibility for sampling rate selection. The synthesized clock is locked to an on-board 10 MHz reference. An externally provided 10 MHz reference can also be selected.
Software is provided for setting up the various board features including the output clock frequency (when using the onboard clock source).
