Samples per record requirements

It is required for the value of samples per record to be above or equal to a given minimum and to be a multiple of a certain value. These two requirements differ from board to board. The following table lists the limits for all boards.

In addition, the number of pre-trigger samples for each board must be a multiple of a given value.

Samples per timestamp and trigger delay alignment

Numbers in this table correspond to:

  • The ratio between timestamp units and sample clocks in traditional record headers.
  • The trigger delay value alignment requirement

Aux I/O output Synchronization

When used as an output, the AUX I/O works on a clock that is generally slower than the sample clock. The ratio between the AUX I/O clock and the sample clock depends on the board and on the number of active channels. For all boards except ATS9360, ATS9371, ATS9373 and ATS9416, the ratio is the same as that specified in Samples per timestamp and trigger delay alignment. For ATS9360, ATS9371, ATS9373 and ATS9416, the AUX I/O is driven by a free running clock of a frequency of 260 MHz. Please note that the frequency of this clock may change from one board to another and from one firmware version to another.
