Description

The FMC Host Clock Output device generates a clock output that is synchronized to a local hardware clock. It has very fast rising edges and a high-current output that can drive 50 ohm coaxial cable.

The output of this clock can optionally be gated by the ONI-specified RUNNING gate to link the clock to the start of data acquisition within a given Acquisition Context.

Register Programming

Address	Name	Access	Time of Effect	POR Value	Reset Action	Description
0x00	NULLPARM	R	Immediate	0	None	No command
0x01	EN	R/W	Immediate	0	None	Output enable. Bit 0 = 0 is disabled, Bit 0 = 1 is enabled.
0x02	H	R/W	Immediate	1	None	Number of input clock cycles output clock should be high. Valid values are 1 or greater.
0x03	L	R/W	Immediate	1	None	Number of input clock cycles output clock should be low. Valid values are 1 or greater.
0x04	DELAY	R/W	On Reset	0	None	Delay, in input clock cycles, following reset before clock becomes active.
0x05	GATEWRUN	R/W	Immediate	1	None	LSB sets the gate using run status 0b0: Clock runs whenever FMCCLKOUT_EN(0) is 1. 0b1: Clock runs only when acquisition is in RUNNING state.
0x06	BASEFREQ	R	N/A	CLK_RATE_HZ	Default	Frequency of the input clock
