Overrange bit
With the help of this mode you can additionally record the overrange flag, which is generated by the ADCs. The overrange bit will be stored
in bit 15 of the samples. If the signal has been out of range this bit will be set to 1, while a 0 indicates that the sample is within the range.
in bit 15 of the samples. If the signal has been out of range this bit will be set to 1, while a 0 indicates that the sample is within the range.
As the overrange bit is generated from sample to sample by the ADC you have to analyze all the recorded
samples to make sure that the range never has been left.
samples to make sure that the range never has been left.
The sample format corresponding with this mode is explained in the according passage in the chapter relating to the acquisition modes. The
overrange mode can be enabled by the following register.
overrange mode can be enabled by the following register.
Input termination
All inputs of Spectrum’s analog boards can be terminated separately with 50 Ohm by software programming. If you do so, please make sure
that your signal source is able to deliver the higher output currents. If no termination is used, the inputs have an impedance of 1 Megaohm.
The following table shows the corresponding register to set the input termination.

The following table shows the corresponding register to set the input termination.
Automatical adjustment of the offset settings
All of the channels are calibrated in factory before the board is shipped. These settings are stored in the on-board EEProm under the default
settings. If you have asymmetrical signals, you can adjust the offset easily with the corresponding registers of the inputs as shown before.
settings. If you have asymmetrical signals, you can adjust the offset easily with the corresponding registers of the inputs as shown before.
To start the automatic offset adjustment, simply write the register, mentioned in the following table. Because the adjustment of all the channels
in all different input ranges can take up some time, it can be useful to adjust only the current input range to safe time.
in all different input ranges can take up some time, it can be useful to adjust only the current input range to safe time.
Before you start an automatic offset adjustment make sure, that no signal is connected to any input. Leave
all the input connectors open and then start the adjustment. If you adjust all ranges, this can take up some
time. All the internal settings of the driver are changed, while the automatic offset compensation is in
progress.

time. All the internal settings of the driver are changed, while the automatic offset compensation is in
progress.
As all settings are temporarily stored in the driver, the automatically adjustment will only affect these values. After exiting your program, all
calibration information will be lost. To give you a possibility to save your own settings, every Spectrum card has at minimum one set of user
settings that can be saved within the on-board EEPROM. The default settings of the offset and gain values are read-only and cannot be written
to the EEProm by the user.

You can easily either save adjustment settings to the EEPROM with SPC_ADJ_SAVE or recall them with SPC_ADJ_LOAD. These two registers
are shown in the table below. The values for these EEPROM access registers are the sets that can be stored within the EEPROM. The amount
