Type 31 (Hail Spectrometer) SEA Model 300 Type 31 (Hail Spectrometer) Description This acquisition type is used to acquire the hail spectral data from the Hail interface card. This single slot interface adapter card has fifteen sixteen bit counter channels and twenty four single bit events. This acquisition routine acquires the fifteen counter channel data. Parameters Parameter Usage Limits 1 Counters 8-14 0x7F 2 Counter 0-7 0xFF 3 Parameters This routine uses the first two parameters to control the reset mode for each counter. As shown above, each counter is controlled by a single bit in parameter one or two. If the control bit for a counter is zero, the counter will be reset to zero each time the counter value is acquired. The acquired count will represent the number of counts that occurred since the last acquisition. If the control bit for a counter is a one, the counter will not be reset during data acquisition. The count will then represent the total number of counts that have occurred since the system was started. Their control bits are assigned as follows: Data Size This routine acquires thirty bytes of data for each sample and 30 bytes should be allocated for each sample. Data Format Byte Offset Value 0-1 Size 1 count 2-3 Size 2 count 4-5 Size 3 count . . Data Format Acquisition Reference 82
