MC.31xx Manual

External TTL trigger

Trigger modes and appendant registers

Positive and negative TTL trigger

This mode is for detecting the rising and falling edges of an ex-
ternal TTL signal. The board will trigger on the first rising or falling
edge that is detected after starting the board. The next triggere-
vent will then be detected, if the actual recording/replay has fin-
ished and the board is armed and waiting for a trigger again.

Pulsewidth triggers

TTL pulsewidth trigger for long HIGH pulses

This mode is for detecting HIGH pulses of an external TTL signal
that are longer than a programmed pulsewidth. If the pulse is
shorter than the programmed pulsewidth, no trigger will be de-
tected. The board will trigger on the first pulse matching the trig-
ger condition after starting the board. The next triggerevent will
then be detected, if the actual recording/replay has finished and
the board is armed and waiting for a trigger again.

TTL pulsewidth trigger for short HIGH pulses

This mode is for detecting HIGH pulses of an external TTL signal
that are shorter than a programmed pulsewidth. If the pulse is
longer than the programmed pulsewidth, no trigger will be detect-
ed. The board will trigger on the first pulse matching the trigger
condition after starting the board. The next triggerevent will then
be detected, if the actual recording/replay has finished and the
board is armed and waiting for a trigger again.
