Introduction:
The PI-41100 is a CompactPCI® instrument card designed to control
pre-amplifiers and A/D converters in the PI-3105 Data Acquisition System,
and to supply timing signals ("strobes") to the A/Ds. It can also be
used as a standalone clock-fanout card with individually programmable delays.
As a standalone card, the PI-41100 takes three TTL timing inputs:
- Frame sync
- Line sync
- Pixel clock
These are typically produced by a timing generator, such as the
PI-2005 Pattern Generator.
The Pixel Clock is fanned out 1:16, and each output channel can be
independently delayed from 0.0 to 1.0
µs in 50 ps steps.
The Frame Sync and Line Sync inputs are each fanned out 1:4 to each of the output
connectors, and there is independently programmable delay for each.
Each output connector A, B, C, and D has a Frame Sync, a Line Sync, and 4
Pixel Clock outputs.
The naming convention derives from this card's function in the PI-3105 Data Acquisition System,
but these timing signals can be used for any purpose.
The large header connector is used for control of pre-amplifiers and A/D
convertors in the PI-3105 Data Acquisition System.
The PI-41100 is supported by Pulse Instruments’ PI-DATS
and PI-Controller software.
