Acquisition Device Input
Lynx II DSA User's Manual – 7096089 137
CHAN ADV
External MCS Channel Advance input connector, MCX. TTL compatible, software-
selectable logic polarity for active-high or active-low. Pulse >50 ns advances the current
MCS channel during MCS acquisition.
SWEEP ADV
External MCS Sweep Advance input connector, MCX. TTL compatible, software-
selectable logic polarity for active-high or active-low. Pulse >50 ns resets the current
sweep in progress and begins a new sweep. This will occur with each pulse until the preset
sweeps are reached.
GATE
Coincidence/anti-coincidence input connector, MCX. TTL compatible; software-
selectable logic polarity for active-high or active-low.
• None – disables coincidence. Signal at GATE input has no effect on data storage.
• Coincidence – GATE signal active at the pulse processing/storage time allows
storage of the event.
• Anti-Coincidence – GATE signal active at the pulse processing/storage time blocks
the storage of the event.
• Combined Coincidence and Combined Anti-Coincidence - Storage of an event
occurs for Coincidence or is blocked for Anti-Coincidence when the event’s pulse
processing/storage time occurs within the storage window. The storage window is
defined by the GATE signal active period in combination with Input Gate Delay
and Input Pulse Width parameters. Data requests for group 1 return the actual data;
all events (regardless of gating condition) will be recorded in Memory Group 2.
The pulse processing/storage time occurs at 1.1 x (RiseTime + FlatTop). All time values
are in microseconds.
CHGR RDY
Sample Changer Ready input connector, MCX. TTL compatible, software-selectable logic
polarity for active-high or active-low. Active signal allows acquisition when a Start
Acquire command is received. Inactive signal will defer the start of acquisition until
CHANGER READY becomes active.
