DESCRIPTION
gage_cs220.device is a driver for the CompuScope 220 ISA Digital
Oscilloscope board from Gage Scientific. With this driver and a
GoldenGate 2 or GG2+ ISA/ZorroII bus bridge, you can use the CS220
on an Amiga.
The driver allows access to nearly all features of the hardware,
including dual channel sampling at up to 20MHz, and single
channel up to 40MHz.
A demo disk is available. The demo disk contains gage_null.device,
a demonstration and test version of the driver that doesn't require
a CS220 or even an ISA/Zorro bus bridge. It simulates the
operation of the gage_cs220.device and provides the same interface,
and allows development of software for gage_cs220.device when
hardware is not available. Since gage_cs220.device is a
binddrivers-style device, and since gage_null.device is based on
much of the same code, the gage_null.device is also a binddrivers
style device and must be bound to an autoconfiguring board on your
system. However, gage_null.device doesn't actually access the
board it is bound to, so it is safe to bind the driver to any
unbound board on your system. A ram expansion board is a good
candidate.
The disk also contains the full autodocs and headers necessary to
program for the gage_cs220.device, and to allow you to get a feel
for the capabilities of the real driver. Or, with the
gage_null.device, you can develop complete applications for the
CS220 without having the hardware or driver available.
See the file README.DataWeb on the demo disk for information on the
DataWeb, a complete scientific data acquisition and processing
environment that can be used with the gage_cs220.device.
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
Amiga 2000, 3000, or 4000 with OS 2.0 or later. See the section
titled 'OTHER' for a special note about the A3000.
A CompuScope 220 ISA Digital Oscilloscope board (naturally).
A GoldenGate 2 or GG2+ ISA/ZorroII bus bridge.

OTHER
The CS220 board will not work in an A3000 as-is. It draws too much
power on start-up and prevents the 3000's power supply from coming
up. It works fine on 2000s, 3000Ts, and 4000s, but not the
standard 3000. Gage can provide a modified board that works around
the problem, or you can modify your own. Please contact us for
details.
The driver has only been tested with the 32K board model, but
should work with the other small (<512K) models. It may not work
without additional work on the large models. I am unable to test
this without access to a large-memory card.
If you need a driver for other Gage Scientific hardware or require
features not supported in the current CS220 driver (for example,
non-automatic software triggering, or large-memory cards), please
contact us. We may be able to help.
