If you want to measure timing down

not sure if it's the correct one. Sample
the sine wave from the calibration clock,

activate OUT0-OUT7. It works in our designs.
Maybe double check the address lines with
  
  887   Fri Jul 29 14:09:35 2022 Stefan RittIncrease event rate, use ROI mode, and install sw from source in MacThe firmware from the website always reads
1024 bins. You have to modify it to stop
before that, like reading only 128 samples

You see there the rising SRCLK pulse which
outputs the next analog value. You also see

one: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/clqo7ekr0ysbrip/AACoWJzrQAbf3WiBJHG89bGGa?dl=0

  896   Mon Oct 24 12:50:24 2022 Stefan RittChannel Cascading Option in the 2048-binThe board is delivered in one or the other
mode and not meant to be changed by the user,
since this requires very delicate soldering
  
  897   Mon Feb 6 13:28:28 2023 Stefan RittDRS4 installation via tar in ubuntu not workingI fixed the described error. Can you try
the new version from https://bitbucket.org/ritt/drs4eb/commits/80b3af753ed32eb365725f0f3244a4109347c01b

  902   Wed Sep 13 13:18:45 2023 Stefan RittInput range switch added in Version 2.1.3To achieve an input range of -1V to 0V,
you need an external buffer which can shift
this range into the DRS4 range of -0.5V to

  907   Thu Feb 22 10:37:03 2024 Stefan RittSimulation of FPGAThe Cypress has its own firmware, contained
in the distribution under firmware/CY7C68013A/drs_eval.c.
There you can see how the data is fetched.
  
  913   Mon Jan 6 12:52:23 2025 Stefan RittProblem with C++ script to use DRS4 evaluation board. Not taking data.1. Transparent mode is not needed for the
hardware trigger, no idea why the code is
there. You can probably remove it.
  
  915   Wed Mar 26 08:42:08 2025 Stefan Rittdrs_exam.cpp not compileYou have to link against the DRS.cpp library,
plus usblib, plus ... Note there is both
a Makefile and a CMakeLists.txt for it. Google
  
  920   Fri May 9 08:17:50 2025 Stefan RittHandling of Write Shift Register and Write Config RegisterThis is correct. Setting A0-A3 to 0b1101
multiplexes the Shift Write Register to SROUT,
so you will either a "0" or a "1"
  
  921   Fri May 9 08:26:17 2025 Stefan RittClarification of full channel readoutThe full readout mode is not really recommended
since you have to pull out the stop position
separately. Just do the ROI readout using
  
  923   Tue May 13 08:51:34 2025 Stefan RittHandling of Write Shift Register and Write Config RegisterYes this is correct. Anyhow, even if it
would be working, you would not be happy
with it. After having designed ~10 boards

I wish to interface the DRS4 with
the 8-channel ADC AD9222 (or AD9637).
