All of the sequencing, pattern/range recognition, and event counting functions are performed on board the IC.
  • Page 217 Theory of Operation The Logic Acquisition Board Clock optimization involves using programmable delays on board the IC to position the master clock transition where valid data is captured. This procedure greatly reduces the effects of channel-to-channel skew and other propagation delays.

The multiplexers, one per channel, direct the programmed data patterns to the output channels.
