ADVField Operation Manual (September 1, 2001)
SyncMode or SM [DISABLE|START|SAMPLE]
• Default parameter:
DISABLE
• Without parameter: returns its current setting.
• When used with a valid parameter, sets the external synchronization mode. The ADVField
processing module includes a sync input line (SyncIn) to allow external hardware control of
ADV data collection.
○
DISABLE
indicates that data collection is completely under internal software control.
○
START
indicates that data collection starts with the rising edge of the first input sync
pulse and continues at the software-programmed sampling rate.
○
SAMPLE
indicates that data collection starts with the rising edge of the first input sync
pulse and continues at a rate determined by the time between the rising edge of succes-
sive input sync pulses.
• See §5.5 for information about external synchronization.
