it uses the fast data storage bus of the GEN7iB if aggregate streaming rates above
200 MB/s are required.
6.3.2 Input cards
GEN7iB can accept up to seven input cards. Each input card includes one or more
digitizers,apowerfulCPUorDSPforltering,intelligenttriggering,andacquisition
management. For more information on the various cards, please refer to chapter „Avail-
able input cards“ on page 179.
Before changing or removing input cards, always check the warranty information. Chang-
ing input cards will void the tight calibration of the input card. Wider tolerances have to be
considered when exchanging input cards.
CPCI input cards can only be used in slots A, B and C.
6.3.3 Master/Sync support
The GEN7iB system has a built-in Master/Sync connector. This connector supports
the GEN series Master/Sync extended synchronization protocols and is fully back-
ward compatible with the basic synchronization protocols. The single synchronization
connector allows for the direct connection of one Sync mainframe to the GEN7iB or the
GEN7iB to be a Sync mainframe within any Master/Sync multi mainframe setup.
6.3.4 Thermal protection
Every GEN series mainframe supports a feature called Thermal Shutdown. For this, the
mainframe and acquisition cards have built-in digital thermal sensors to measure local
temperatures. The GEN series embedded software reads these values every minute
and monitors the system’s internal temperature for overheating.
