Proper Signal Termination of 422 Data Transmission Signals
The role of cable termination in any data transmission scheme is to eliminate or at least minimize signal reflections and obtain the best combination of signal quality, speed, and power dissipation. Four different termination techniques are discussed: No Termination, Series Termination, Parallel Termination and AC Termination. |

SmartPrecision™ Software Data Saving and Processing Features
SmartPrecision Software has a data buffering system that will store about 70 seconds of data at 38400 Baud. This allows the user to stop viewing live data, go back into the buffered data and view that data in real-time, i.e. just as it was acquired. This data buffer can also be saved to file and reloaded for viewing later. |
