VetoDAQ front panel

This is the main DAQ application

Toggle Mux button: Clicking this button when enabled will reinitialize the Symmetricom card and program it to issue a strobe pulse after a short delay. This pulse toggles the mux data acquisition off or on, and resets its timing registers. The button will be greyed out and disabled when any of the DAQ read loops are running to avoid invalidating the timestamps in open data files.

Modify Configuration button: opens the Modify Configuration popup vi for subsequent changes any time all the DAQ loops are idle. Otherwise, it is grayed out.

Strobe Date/Time: This indicator shows the date/time of the last strobe pulse, which is also written in Unix seconds to the datafile headers.

Bias Volts: This is an indicator showing the value that was entered in the Modify Configuration popup

DAQ Loop controls:

Device Name: For each DAQ loop, the device name assigned to each PCI-6534 card in MAX is shown in an indicator above the DAQ control cluster. Only DAQ loops with installed cards are enabled, otherwise the controls are grayed out.
