  241   Mon Apr 22 15:33:28 2013 Benjamin LeGeyteffect of jitter/alignment between SRCLK and ADC clock

Hello!
let me apologize in advance if this has already been covered somewhere and I missed it. 


I have a question about a statement made regarding the ADC clock in the evaluation board v4.0 manual.  At the bottom or page 23 there is a mention of jitter between the SRCLK signal and the ADC clock causing a baseline variation in the sampled output of up to a few mV.  Is there any more information out there about this?  I find this confusing for the following reason: If the DRS output has mostly settled after 28ns and the signal that is being sampled is a DC signal, I don't understand why an aperture jitter in the sampling ADC should cause a voltage error in the measured signal.  I already know about the possibility of noise spikes every 32 samples if these clocks are not properly aligned, though I don't know the origin of those spikes.  are these two things related?

 

Many Thanks!

Hi Benjamin,

In principle you are right, for a DC signal that should not matter. But in reality the DRS4 output signal is not constant even for a DC signal. When you switch from one sampling cell to another during readout, there is something called "charge injection". This causes the output to change up to several 10 mV. After 28 ns this is mostly settled, but not completely, since the DRS4 output driver has a relatively low bandwidth (~50 MHz). Furthermore, the signal line between the DRS4 and the ADC is not terminated, so you have some reflections going forth and back. In addition, you have some crosstalk from the SRCLK signal. So it's better that you sample on each cycle at exactly the same time. Here you see a plot of that (green: DRS4 output, blue: ADC clock, yellow SRCLK):

Thank you for your fast and very helpful replay.

I made it work with drsosc version 4 but with version 5 i am getting weird results. Is it possible that they changed binary formatting?

Yes, but this is documented in the evaluation board manual. You have to modify the script slightly. I will update it myself in about 2-3 weeks.

  590   Tue Mar 28 21:53:12 2017 Jim Freemandrscl doesn't find eval board but drsosc does (Windows 7)

I cannot find the EVAL board using drscl version 5.06 while the drsosc works fine. I tried 2 different eval boards and 2 different computers and the same effect. I looked under device manager at the libusb and the drs4 was there, and checked the driver which was found to be up to date.

  591   Wed Apr 5 12:28:28 2017 Stefan Rittdrscl doesn't find eval board but drsosc does (Windows 7)

Two people report now this problem, while this works fine at our lab. So I'm puzzled right now.

I attach two screenshots from the device manager and the Command Line interface. Can you compare it with what you see? Which is the firmware version of your evaluaiton board?

Hi! Jim:

  It seems that I meet the same question with you ,and I am confused ,have you find out the reason about this problem?Or can you tell me how you deal with it?

Thank you very much!

  746   Wed Mar 6 10:09:01 2019 Willy Changdrscl "no board found" in some Win7 or Win8.X PCs

Hi all, 

When connecting the board and running the Zadig program, some Windows PCs may return "driver installation failed." I coudn't find the solution from their download website. So I started the drscl first. Apparently it shows: Successfully scanned, but no boards found. Therefore I checked the Device Manager. A breakdown warning triangle appears under the serial port...

The possible solution may be found here.

Infact, the WinUsb driver has been in existence in your PC. One can just follow the instructions here: 

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/usbcon/winusb-installation 

  1. Plug in your device to the host system.
  2. Open Device Manager and locate the device.
  3. Right-click the device and select Update driver software... from the context menu.
  4. In the wizard, select Browse my computer for driver software.
  5. Select Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer.
  6. From the list of device classes, select Universal Serial Bus devices.
  7. The wizard displays WinUsb Device. Select it to load the driver.

In the wizard, somehow the default setting displays Microsoft Device on the Top of the list and replaced the WinUsb Device. You can easily re-load the WinUsb Device. Just ignore the WARNING from the device manager. The board should work fine now.

  833   Thu Sep 16 19:04:06 2021 Patrick Moriishi Freemandrs_exam_multi with non-v4 boards, default configuration

Hello, 

I made a modified version drs_exam_multi.cpp, but ran into an issue when running.  When I ran it, it only found the two boards with lower serial numbers (2781 and 2879) and complained that the others (2880 and 2881) were not v4. Would there be a simple workaround for this type of thing? Also, would I be able to use the .dat format to keep the file sizes down. 

If not, I am curious if there is a way I can at least set a default configuration for the drsosc program. It seems the drsosc.cfg is written when drsosc starts? Does it load the configuration from somewhere else? It would be very helpful to keep the same settings between runs, in particular the trigger delays, levels, trigger mode, and voltage offsets. Maybe I can even do this with just a few of the CLI commands? I know this is for experts only, but I think I would just need a few commands (setTrig, setTrigMode,  setTrigDelay, that sort of thing) if they do exist. I would check the help now, but I'm running, and I'm pretty sure I saw some for trigger settings. 

Anyhow, any help is appreciated in creating a more repeatable and automated data acquisition. Thanks!

 

  835   Sat Sep 18 15:48:30 2021 Stefan Rittdrs_exam_multi with non-v4 boards, default configuration

Hi,

please note the the evaluation board is what it says, a board to evaluate the chip, and is not meant for a full-blown shiny multi-board DAQ channel, so support for that is kind of limited.

Strange that you only find two out of four boards. What happens if you disconnect the two boards the system finds and then try again? Might be that your USB hub does not have enough power to supply four boards (each taking 2.5W, so you need 10W in total). Unplugging some board will show you if you have a power problem.

The drsosc.cfg stores the current configuration. For this to work, the drsosc program has to have write access to the directory where the drsosc.cfg program is stored, which is usually the directory from where the program is started. Maybe you have to adjust permissions. Yes you have commands to set everything, just look into drs_exam.cpp and you will find most of them.

Best,
Stefan

  142   Thu Jan 19 23:26:26 2012 Heejong Kimdrs_exam.cpp for evaluation board version 4

Hello,

I'm using DRS4 evaluation board version4 in Linux (Scientific Linux 5).

Version4 software (drs-4.0.0) was installed without any troubles.

The oscilloscope interfrace program (drsosc) is working fine with version4 software.

But when I tried drs_exam program, it doesn't work as expected.

(500 mV positive (width 50ns)  pulse is connected to Ch#1).

It keeps waiting trigger in the first event.

In the previous version (board/software drs-3.0.0), drs_exam program worked well.

I'm wondering if anybody is using drs_exam with V4 evaluation board.

Any comments/help would be welcomed.

 

Thanks,

Heejong

The issue is that the V4 board has new trigger capabilities (such as coincidences between two channels) which require a slightly different configuration. Here it the new code:

 

   /* use following lines to enable hardware trigger on CH1 at 50 mV positive edge */
   if (b->GetBoardType() == 8) {     // Evaluaiton Board V4
      b->EnableTrigger(1, 0);           // enable hardware trigger
      b->SetTriggerSource(1<<0);        // set CH1 as source
   } else {                          // Evaluation Board V3
      b->EnableTrigger(0, 1);           // lemo off, analog trigger on
      b->SetTriggerSource(0);           // use CH1 as source
   }

The complete file is attached. Please try again with the new code. Probably next week I will make a new software release (including a Mac version of all programs) which will contain the new code. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Best regards,
Stefan

Hello Stefan,

Thanks for your prompt reply.

drs_exam is working now after modification as above.

By some trials, I found that external trigger is possible by 'b->EnableTrigger(1,0); b->SetTriggerSource(1<<4);'

Best,

Heejong

Can anyone help me to solve the problem?

Have a look at the web site http://www.psi.ch/drs/software-download . Under the MS Windows section it says that you have to install the libusb-1.0 package first before you can compile the example program. This is also obvious from the missing _usb_* functions in the error listing above.

 Hi Stefan,
