the software for multiboard configuration
  
  519   Thu Apr 28 15:47:53 2016 Stefan RittNew software version and binary formatA new software version 5.0.5 has been released
today. This fixes a few bugs in multi-board
configurations, and adds saving of the scaler

the chip is at it's limit and timing

which settings would be best for coincidence

not help, there is the (small) chance that
the serial number got erased in the board.

  421   Tue May 19 14:14:45 2015 Ilja BekmanDRS4 firmware UCF constraints Hello, I'm using two DRS4 rev.5 boards for
8ch readout and triggering.
  
  420   Wed May 13 16:25:24 2015 Stefan Ritttransparent-mode voltageTo get the good linearity, you need indeed
ROFS = 1.05V. With a O-OFS of 0.9V, a zero
input signal would give you DRS_OUT+=1.05V
  
  419   Wed May 13 16:13:07 2015 Chenfei Yangtransparent-mode voltageIf using a ROFS of 0.9V, the input would
not between 1.05V~2.05V better non-linearity
area. Is that appropriate?
  
  418   Wed May 13 12:52:22 2015 Chenfei Yangtransparent-mode voltageYes. I use exactly the same scheme as you
mentioned. I'll try your solution.

  
  417   Wed May 13 12:34:49 2015 Stefan Ritttransparent-mode voltageThere might be a solution. How do you bias
th input of the
DRS4 chip? If you use a scheme as described
  
  416   Wed May 13 10:27:43 2015 Chenfei Yangtransparent-mode voltageI'm using an AD9252, 0.9V common mode

un-switchable level shifters. Just as you
  
  415   Wed May 13 10:16:40 2015 Stefan Ritttransparent-mode voltageI see your point. Actually I will soon
have the same issue since we design right

  414   Wed May 13 09:55:09 2015 Chenfei Yangtransparent-mode voltageHere's the problem. My external ADC

And the common-mode voltage of the inputs
  
  413   Wed May 13 09:45:51 2015 Stefan Ritttransparent-mode voltageThe ROFS signal has no effect in the transparent
mode, so you have to adjust O_OFS between
sampling and transparent mode accordingly.

  408   Tue Apr 21 13:06:39 2015 Stefan RittDRS4 Evaluation Board Baseline/Voltage Calibration Sure, for a V3 board you need a pre-V5
