Questions Related to Specific Gage Products

Q. I am looking at buying a CompuScope 1602 card with External Clock upgrade. I noticed that there are five connectors on the front panel of the CS1602: 2 for Channel A, 2 for Channel B and one for External Trigger input.

Where will I inject my External Clock signal, since all five connectors seem to be taken up?

A. When you purchase an External Clock upgrade with a CompuScope 1602, we supply you with an "Auxiliary Board" that provides an extra BNC connector for External Clock Input.

The Auxiliary Board plugs into a slot adjacent to the CompuScope 1602 and connects to it using a short cable. This cable must be connected to the External Clock connector on the CompuScope 1602 to complete the signal path from the BNC connector to the clocking circuitry of the CompuScope 1602.

Note that a CompuScope 1602 with an External Clock upgrade occupies two slots, not one. The second slot is used for the slot space only and the Auxiliary Board does not actually plug into a PCI or ISA slot .
