Adsend Configuration File

(last revised 26 May 2006)
#
# CONFIGURATION FILE FOR ADSEND
# -----------------------------
#
# If there are no mux boards in the system, OnboardChans (16) channels are
# digitized. If there are mux boards in the system,
# (4 * OnboardChans * NumMuxBoards) channels are digitized.
# The station file must contain an entry for each channel digitized.
#
#
ModuleId MOD_ADSEND_A # Module id of this instance of adsend
OutRing WAVE_RING # Transport ring to write waveforms to
HeartbeatInt 15 # Heartbeat interval in seconds
EnableBell 1 # If non-zero, ring the computer bell if time
# code is out of synch or the guide channels
# are not locked on.
#
#
# CHANNEL CONFIGURATION
OnboardChans 16 # Number of channels on the DAQ card
NumMuxBoards 4 # Number of 64-channel mux's (0,1,2, or 4)
ChanRate 100.0 # Sampling rate in samples/second
ChanMsgSize 100 # TraceBuf message size, in samples
Gain 2 # Channel gains (-1: +/-10V)(1: +/-5V)(2: +/-2.5V)
SampRate 250000.0 # Sample rate/scan (max for PCI-MIO-16E-4 = 250000.)
#
#
# GUIDE CHANNELS
NumGuide 4 # Number of guide channels (usually one per mux)
GuideChan 0 4 8 12 # The channels carrying the guide signal
MinGuideSignal 110.0 # Guides are declared dead if the mean value of
# guide 1st differences < MinGuideSignal
MaxGuideNoise 8.0 # Guides are declared dead if standard error of
# guide 1st differences > MaxGuideNoise
TimeForLock 5 # The guide channel system is declared "locked on"
# if all guide channels remain locked on for
# TimeForLock seconds.
ErrNoLockTime 30 # At program startup or after a restart, if the
# guide channel system does not lock on for
# ErrNoLockTime seconds, adsend will report an
# error to statmgr (see adsend.desc).
#
#
#
# TIMING INFORMATION
NumTimeCodeChan 2 # Number of time code channels
TimeCodeChan 1 2 # Get the time code from these channels
Year 1998 # Current year (reset manually at New Years)
YearFromPC 0 # 1->Ignore "Year" and take from PC clock
#
SendBadTime 0 # NOTE: if set to one, adsend will use the PC
# system time to time stamp the data.
# It will make no attempt to decode IRIGE
UpdateSysClock 0 # 1->PC time updated with IRIGE
IrigeIsLocalTime 0 # 1 if Irige represents local time; 0 if GMT time.

TimeoutNoSend 120 # If no data is sent for TimeoutNoSend seconds,
# possibly due to bad time code, the program will
# switch to the next TimeCodeChan and restart the
# DAQ system. If TimeoutNoSend = 0, this feature
# is disabled.

TimeoutNoSynch 1800 # If there is no time-code synch for TimeoutNoSynch
# seconds, the program will switch to the next
# TimeCodeChan and restart the DAQ system.
# If TimeoutNoSynch = 0, this feature is disabled.
#
#
# EXTERNAL TRIGGERING
# This program uses "High-Hysteresis Analog Triggering Mode".
# Triggering occurs when the trigger voltage becomes greater than HighValue.
# Detriggering occurs when the trigger voltage becomes less than LowValue.
# HighValue minus LowValue must be >= 0.1 volt.
# For more information on triggering, see the National Instruments "PCI-MIO
# E Series User Manual", Jan 1997 edition, chapter 3.
#
ExtTrig 1 # 0 for internal triggering; 1 for external
LowValue 2.75 # In volts (-10V to 10V) (must be < HighValue)
HighValue 3.25 # In volts (-10V to 10V) (must be > LowValue)

TimeoutNoTrig 5 # If no tracebuf messages are obtained for
# TimeoutNoTrigger seconds, the program will
# assume the external trigger is disconnected.
# The program will switch to internal triggering.
#
#
# "SCNL" AND PIN VALUES FOR EACH DAQ CHANNEL
# Chan lines must follow the Channel Configuration lines in this file.
# Unused channels may be omitted from the list. Pin numbers are optional.
# If a pin number is not specified for a channel, the pin number is set to
# the DAQ channel number.
#
# DAQ Station/
# Channel Comp/Net/Loc Pin
