The Trigger Menu
Sequence Levels Area
You use the sequence levels area to view the sequence levels currently
used in the trigger specification and their timer status. From this area
you can also access each individual level for editing.
Resource Terms Area
You use the resource terms area to assign values to the resource
terms. Resource terms take the form of bit patterns, ranges, and
I
edges. In addition to assigning values to the resource terms, you also
assign values to the two timers, and assign custom names to all the
resource terms.
Once defined and inserted into the trigger specification, the resource
terms will identify key points in the data stream for branching or the
point for data acquisition to occur.
Control Area
You use the acquisition control area to manage the efficient use of
analyzer memory. You define any arming control or whether you want
time or count tags placed in the stored data.
Within the Acquisition Control function, you can adjust trigger
position, sample period, memory length, and whether the resource
term that generated a branch is stored.
