Multiple Record capture can continue until the <strong>CompuScope</strong> memory is full. So, for instance, a<strong>CompuScope</strong> with 1 MegaSamples of on-board memory can capture up to 1000 records of 1000 pointseach.Please note that no pre-trigger data are acquired in Multiple Record Mode.The diagram below shows a typical repetitive signal. The figure also shows the contents of <strong>CompuScope</strong>memory if the signal were to be acquired in Multiple Record Mode.Master/Slave Multi-Card SystemsOne of the most unique features of the <strong>CompuScope</strong> cards is the Multi-Card system that can be configured.A Multi-Card system, consisting of one Master and multiple Slave <strong>CompuScope</strong>s, can be ordered from thefactory if the user wants to capture more than two channels with a common clock and trigger. Each<strong>CompuScope</strong> in the system must be of the same model number and memory size. Sampling and triggeringis always simultaneous in a Master/Slave <strong>CompuScope</strong> system.A board-to-board interconnect is supplied with a Master/Slave <strong>CompuScope</strong> system. This interconnectscarries all the timing signals required for proper inter-<strong>CompuScope</strong> synchronization. Gage’s proprietaryrigid bridgeboard technology ensures proper distribution of the sampling clock and trigger signal from theMaster <strong>CompuScope</strong> to all the Slave <strong>CompuScope</strong>s.The <strong>CompuScope</strong> Windows drivers are built to naturally support a single Master/Slave <strong>CompuScope</strong>system. GageScope ® , the World’s Most Powerful Oscilloscope Software, can display up to 32 channelsfrom all boards in a <strong>CompuScope</strong> Master/Slave system on the same screen. The C/C++ <strong>SDK</strong> containsexplicit sample programs for Master/Slave <strong>CompuScope</strong> systems.Multiple Independent Multi-Card SystemsIndependent <strong>CompuScope</strong> cards of different types and memory sizes can be operated within the samecomputer chassis. Such a configuration is referred to as a Multiple Independent Multi-Card system of<strong>CompuScope</strong>s. Each <strong>CompuScope</strong> can be operated with a different sampling rate, trigger source, inputrange etc.A Multiple Independent <strong>CompuScope</strong>s system is useful for experiments where signals of a different naturemust be acquired. For instance, a user might have to acquire high speed raw RF communication signalswith a <strong>CompuScope</strong> 82G and at the same time acquire lower speed demodulated audio signals with a<strong>CompuScope</strong> CS1610.The <strong>CompuScope</strong> Windows drivers are able to support a single Multiple Independent <strong>CompuScope</strong> system.GageScope ® supports Multiple Independent systems and displays the signals from each <strong>CompuScope</strong> in aseparate display Window. The C/C++ <strong>SDK</strong> contains explicit sample programs for Multiple Independent<strong>CompuScope</strong>s system.<strong>CompuScope</strong> <strong>SDK</strong> <strong>Manua</strong>l Page 9
