Before installing the DAS module

please read the user's manual of the DAS module carefully

Then operate

This is our DAS dedicated capture card

the interface of the capture card is PCIe x8

So the capture card needs to be plugged into our computer to work

Therefore, before installing a DAS system

 please prepare a computer with a PCIe x8 socket

Then plug the capture card into your computer

Follow the capture card driver installation instructions we provide

Install the driver on your computer first

Then the capture card has 4 ports

the top 2 are CH0, CH1

which represent the data that can be captured from 2 channels

Then Trig is the trigger output interface 

and CLK is the clock synchronization interface

After installing the driver of the capture card

 we will wire the DAS module

Before wiring, please check whether all material accessories are complete

Since the DAS integration module is 5V powered 

and the acousto-optic modulator is 24V powered

So our power module needs 5V and 24V power supply at the same time

If you do not have a suitable power module

you can contact us for recommendations

This is the power module

the input is 220V

L is the fire wire brown

N is the zero wire blue

and the ground wire is yellow and green

Here we need to pay attention:

 please do not power up the computer module

 before all the wiring is done

From the computer module label

 we can see

V1 terminal: 5V

V1 terminal: 5V

V2 terminal: 24V

COM terminal for ground

This is the DAS integrated module

from left to right

OUT1 indicates the output of channel 1

OUT2 indicates the output of channel 2

Then there are 2 Senser fiber optic cable outlets

corresponding to Sender1 for channel 1

and Sensor2 for channel 2

If it is a single channel

we just need to connect the OUT1 interface with the CH1 interface of the capture card with RF cable

AOM RF is the acoustic-optic modulator drive signal input

then the indicator light and power supply communication terminals

DAS integrated modules are basically factory optimized

so you can just connect the power supply port

find 2 wires

V port to the 5V terminal of the power module

G port to the COM terminal of the power module

This is the acousto-optic modulator driver

because the power supply of the acousto-optic modulator driver is 24V

so the positive terminal of the acousto-optic modulator driver needs to be connected to the 24V terminal of the power module

and the negative terminal is connected to the COM terminal of the power module

Then the acousto-optic modulator has one RF input port

 and one RF output port

The RF input port is connected to the Trig trigger output port of the capture card with an RF cable

the RF output port is connected to the AOM RF of the DAS integration module with an RF cable

The rest is to connect the sensing fiber optic cable

Since our DAS module outgoing fiber connector is FC/APC connector (green connector)

the interface of the sensing fiber optic cable you prepare must also be FC/APC connector (green connector)

Connecting via an FC adapter

At this point

all wiring has been completed

 re-check again for errors

If there is no error

 you can connect the power module to 220V power

Then open our DEMO demo program from your computer 

to see if it's working correctly!
