9.5 Configure a Single-Trigger DIF Acquisition
The operation of the PI-MAX4 in DIF mode is similar to standard operation of a PI-MAX4
with
SuperSYNCHRO Timing. This section describes the minor operational differences
that are due to the special timing modes required for DIF.
Figure 9-13 is a block diagram of the typical equipment configuration for a single-trigger
DIF acquisition.
