Initiated
Once the trigger system is initiated from the IDLE state, it passes through the initiated state,
immediately making the downward traverse to the ''wait for ARM'' state. The upward traverse is
dependent on the setting of CONTinuous. If CONTinuous is set to OFF, the upward trasition to
IDLE is made. Otherwise, the downward traverse to the ''wait for ARM'' state is made, and the
trigger sequence remains initiated.
The initiated state avoids having the pending operation flag changes states every time the entire
trigger sequence is completed when CONTinuous is ON.
Event Detection Layer
The ARM and TRIGger layers are both event detection layers with the TRIGger layer being
subservient to the ARM layer. Each layer provides one level of event detection.
The downward traverse through an event detection layer depends on the sourced event being
detected the specified number of times. Typically, the first event detected after entering the
event detection layer is all that is required to proceed. However, a particular number of
