7.5 BADR3
The I/O Region defined by BADR3 contains data and control registers for the ADC Pacer, Pre/Post-Trigger Counters, User
Counters and Digital I/O bytes. The PCI-DAS1000 has two 8254 counter/timer devices. These are referred to as 8254A
and 8254B and are assigned as shown below:
User Counter #528254B
User Counter #418254B

Counter 0 is used to stop the acquisition when the desired number of samples have been gathered. It essentially is gated on
when a 'residual' number of conversions remain. The main counting of samples is done by the Interrupt Service Routine,
which will increment each time by 'packets' equal to 1/2 FIFO. Generally the value loaded into Counter 0 is N mod 1024,
where N is the total count, or the post trigger count, since Total count is not known when pre-trigger is active. Counter 0
will be enabled by use of the
ARM
bit (BADR1 + 4) when the next-to-last 1/2-full interrupt is processed. Counter 0 is to
operated in Mode 0.
