Operators Manual
The Trigger Setup menu has these softkeys:
 (Reset to Defaults): sets all trigger parameters in all the event layers to
the power-on default. If the setup of the triggering subsystem is uncertain, Reset
to Defaults provides a fast way to return the subsystem to a known condition.
 (Extended Settings): provides access to all four of the trigger layers, the
Initiate layer and the event layers, Arm 2, Arm 1 and Trigger. When pushed, the
 (Extended Settings) provides menus to the Initiate and each of the three
trigger layers. See the screen below:
The first row in Extended Settings is the Initiate Mode.
Initiate Mode: When selected, the Initiate Mode has the choice of Continuous
ON or OFF, or Epoch. Continuous ON sets the triggering subsystem to the free-
run mode. Continuous OFF sets the triggering subsystem to the Idle mode.
Setting the Initiate mode to Continuous OFF is similar to pushing , with
a slight difference: When  is pushed, the Initiate mode is put into
Continuous OFF and all Trigger subsystem activity is aborted. Selecting
Continuous OFF in the Extended Settings menu does not stop trigger activity
already in progress.
