Operation Theory

If you want to connect STA, STP, and CEMG to the PXI trigger
bus, they can only set it to channel 5, 6, and 7, individually. STA
may also be connected to PXI_START by function selection. Also,
PXI_START’s status could be read back through this function.

If you want to connect CMP1, CMP2 and AP6 to PXI trigger bus,
they can set it to one of the PXI_TRG[7:0] by setting them as out-
put. There is no dedicated channel for these two signals. Any
sources active will force all of the PXI_TRG output. You may also
enable STAR_TRG triggering.

If you want to control the PXI trigger bus’ output by software, use
the software trigger mode for these channels. All of the
PXI_TRIG[7:0] could be used for this mode as output. Also, it can
be set as input and may be readback in any time.
