How many STDM

Post by littlewoodg »

(First post, recent convert to Scope, now zealot...big ups and thanks to astroman and garyb)


The plan is to add 1 small card (either Luna 2 or Pulsar "Home") to my modest set up (have Pulsar 2.) Is a single STDM sufficient, or is more STDMs better?
Windows XP, Scope 4.5, dell 780 Optiplex Tower

Thanks!

if cards are designed for 2 stdm cables... 1 cable that does the job ok, loses in something noticable?

Hello. If cascading 3 cards (which used to work with one cable in past but no longer does on my i3) is it better to use 2 stdm cables?
