Hi
Ok, you have the fast port working. I assume with some sort of GPIB adapter. Is
this correct?
No. Flip a DIP-switch and it's there. There is a few connectors on the
motherboard and that hooks up to the connector panel. I've checked and
I've got the driving chips on my various boards.
If so is this just a matter of taking the code you already have and folding it
into one of the existing programs? That would make the 5371's and 5372's a
*lot* more useful.
It is indeed the hint I am giving. If you use the fast-port with a
suitable back-end, you can do a lot of stuff that you would otherwise
not expect from that machine.
You can do three-clock comparisons in continuous mode if you like.
There obviously are going to be some hardware dependent data rate issues at
high speeds. For the kind of stuff Bert and his buddy are trying to do ( 1
pps), that's unlikely to be a big deal.
You can control that very easily with the trigger rate. The time-tagging
rate is actually rather high on these beasts, but memory storage is what
reduces it's speed and depth.
Cheers,
Magnus
