it been in use before or is it a new board?

lies in the definition what "sample
0" means. Please view the attached picture.

  571   Mon Nov 28 16:52:38 2016 Stefan RittPLL did not lockHave you tried to unplug and re-plug the
board a few times? According to our database,
you should have three boards. Do all three
  
  574   Wed Nov 30 08:53:58 2016 Stefan RittPotential Incorrect Timing Calibration for DRS4 DataThe inverter chain in the DRS4 is continously
running in a ring. Once you get a trigger,
it is stopped. This happens in any of the

be wrong. A bit like "my car is not

There is no intermediate addressing stage.
The only thing which sometimes happens is
  
  582   Fri Jan 13 13:16:09 2017 Stefan RittDRS software doesn't work under Windows XP SP3The error probably comes from the fact
that the drsosc.exe application is a 64-bit
application and cannot be executed under

  585   Mon Jan 30 16:37:33 2017 Stefan RittAND trigger problems In the evaluation board we use an ADCMP601
comparator, which has a setup and hold time
of 4.6 ns. So a pulse which exceeds the threshold

But there is a simple C program drs_exam.cpp,

this works fine at our lab. So I'm puzzled
right now.

  594   Mon Apr 10 10:48:03 2017 Stefan RittDRS4 eval board v4 coincidence firmware changes for triger for short pulsesYou have to download the package for your
board, which then includes also the correct
firmware for your board. If you have a V4
  
  595   Mon Apr 10 10:50:57 2017 Stefan Rittdrs4 registers behaviourUsing the RESET line to reset registers
is not a good idea since it can have some
bad side-effects. The READ SHIFT register

  599   Tue Apr 11 09:41:44 2017 Stefan Rittdrs4 registers behaviourWhat I do is the following: Have the RESET
input unconnected. When you power up, this
makes an internal reset during the power
  
  601   Thu Apr 13 16:50:18 2017 Stefan RittStand-alone Time Calibration for PSI BoardHard to say. Timing calibration is quite
delicate. If you start from scratch, better
read this paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/1405.4975
  
  603   Thu Apr 13 17:02:01 2017 Stefan RittStand-alone Time Calibration for PSI BoardThan you can try to isolate the code. Note
that different SCAs might work differently.
Like the DRS4 has a channel-to-channel jitter

chip. So the readout starts with the stop
