4.2.3 Synchronized Output Prompt Register
During normal operation, the PCI-1720 will accept digital values one
at a time from the host PC, convert these values to analog values, and
immediately output these analog values from the channels directed
by the host PC.
However, the PCI-1720 has the capability to store each analog value
in its proper channel buffer as it is generated, then simultaneously
output one analog value from each of its four channels on receipt of a
synchronizing character. Any character can act as a synchronizing
character, but it must be written to the BASE + 9 register to prompt
synchronized output.
4.2.4 Synchronized Output Control Bit
Table 4-5: Synchronized output control bit
The register BASE + 15 stores the synchronized output control bit.
When the SC0 bit is set to 1, the synchronized data output function is
enabled and analog values will not be output until a character is
written to the BASE + 9 register. When the SC0 bit is set to 0, the
synchronized data output function is disabled. Analog data output
occurs as soon as an output channel receives an element of output
data.
