  • Page 121: Acquisition And Storage

    9 Acquisition and Storage Introduction Data acquisition hardware within the GEN3t is based on the concept of a recorder. A recorder consists of a number of acquisition channels that share the same basic recording parameters: sample rate, sweep length and pre- and post-trigger length.

  • Page 122: Recording

    Perception software, it is advised to read this section in combination with the corresponding sections in the Perception manual. The GEN3t/Perception combination provides the following acquisition controls: ● RUN The run command starts recording of data. Now the recorder(s) record(s) data until a stop command is issued.

  • Page 123: Storage

    GEN3t Storage The GEN3t provides two storage paths, as shown in Figure 9.1 on page 121: Store data in on-board RAM at high speed Transfer data directly at reduced speed to the controlling PC or (when installed) to a local disk.

  • Page 124: More On Sweeps

    GEN3t Figure 9.3: Run - Storage: Sweeps only The basic storage modes can be combined to create more advanced storage modes: Dual In this mode, sweeps and continuous data are stored. Therefore, the end result is a recording that comprises the higher speed sweeps as well as the lower speed continuous data between the sweeps.

  • Page 125: Pre-Trigger Sweeps

    GEN3t DATA STORAGE BEGIN BEGIN Figure 9.4: Ring buffer operation of memory The physical memory therefore forms a ring buffer, into which information can be continuously added (see Figure 9.4). This process of filling the ring buffer memory terminates only when the recording logic indicates that the sweep must be ended.
  • Page 126 GEN3t DATA STORAGE BEGIN TRIGGER BEGIN END OF RECORDING Figure 9.5: Ring buffer with trigger and end-of-recording Since the trigger stops the storage, all stored information is termed pre-trigger information. When storage stops because the acquired signal has met a trigger condition, only pre-trigger information is available - information recorded before the signal met the trigger condition.

  • Page 127: More On Continuous Data Storage

    More on continuous data storage The most important difference between continuous data storage and sweeps in a GEN3t is the fact that sweeps are stored in on-board volatile RAM, while continuous storage takes place on the controlling PC's hard disk (or local hard disk when installed).
  • Page 128 GEN3t Circular The continuous mode is circular when storage is started and stopped manually AND the length of the buffer is defined. Operation is similar to standard sweep storage, but storage is on the PC hard disk and not in volatile memory. In this mode, the lead-out is specified which is basically the same as the post-trigger segment in a sweep recording.

  • Page 129: Time Base

    GEN3t Time base The power of modern data acquisition techniques is achieved by digitizing analog information. Digitizing is the conversion of the instantaneous value of an analog signal (static or dynamic) into a numeric value. When the signal varies, sampling the instantaneous amplitude at sufficiently rapid intervals converts this signal into a series of numbers that can represent the original analog signal.

  • Page 130: Time Base Settings For Ffts

    GEN3t 9.4.2 Time base settings for FFTs When doing FFTs, there are two topics that affect the acquisition: It makes life easier when the final FFT yields spectral lines with a distance ∆ f that is a "nice" value. Otherwise stated: the FFT bin size should preferably be a nice value.

  • Page 133: 10 Digital Trigger Modes

    In this chapter, the trigger capabilities of the GEN3t data acquisition system will be explained in full detail. Each channel within a recorder can trigger this recorder. This functionality is realized by combining all channel triggers into a logical OR combination.

  • Page 134: Understanding Digital Triggering

    GEN3t 10.2 Understanding digital triggering Technically speaking, there are two approaches to determine the known, pre- defined situation of the signal: analog or digital. Each channel in the GEN series system is equipped with a digital trigger detector. Digital triggering has the benefit of stable vertical reference levels, no horizontal jitter, and not depending on signal frequency.
  • Page 135 GEN3t As explained later in this chapter, a signal must actually cross the preset level. This is to avoid erroneous triggering due to a small amount of noise on the signal. To make the trigger detector even more stable when noisy signals are used, the single-level trigger detector has been expanded with a hysteresis.

  • Page 136: Valid Trigger Conditions

    GEN3t 10.2.2 Valid trigger conditions Trigger detection is based on level crossing. A signal has to cross a specified level to be considered a trigger condition. As a consequence, reaching the required level is not a valid trigger condition. Since trigger detection is digital, inter-sample analog values are omitted.
  • Page 137 GEN3t Figure 10.3 shows the influence of the additional hysteresis. Fundamentally, everything is the same as described earlier. The only difference now is that a second level (H) is used to “arm” the level trigger detector. Otherwise stated, the trigger level has been expanded to be a trigger zone that spans multiple levels.

  • Page 138: Trigger Modes

    GEN3t 10.3 Trigger modes Using the various trigger modes, GEN3t data acquisition system is expanded to an extremely versatile transient recorder. The trigger circuits may be configured to trigger on many types of phenomena. In this section, the different trigger modes and their extensions are discussed in detail.

  • Page 139: Dual Trigger Mode

    GEN3t 10.3.2 Dual trigger mode In dual trigger mode two detectors are active and working simultaneously: the primary level P and the secondary level S. With two levels, it is possible to define a range that the input signal must be within. As soon as the signal becomes larger than the upper level or smaller than the lower level, the detector generates a trigger.

  • Page 140: Window Trigger Mode

    The Window trigger mode is very useful if a periodic signal is monitored and GEN3t must be triggered on peak level changes. This mode is most effective on uni-polar signals, e.g. a TTL level pulse train. For bi-polar signals, the dual- window trigger mode is more suited as described in the following section.

  • Page 141: Dual-Window Trigger Mode

    GEN3t 10.3.4 Dual-window trigger mode The dual-window trigger mode is a more sophisticated version of the window trigger mode. Now both levels are used as an arm/trigger/disarm level. This allows the trigger detector to react to a dip in both directions.

  • Page 142: Sequential Trigger Mode

    GEN3t 10.3.5 Sequential trigger mode The two level comparators are set in a sequence in this mode. One is used to arm the trigger detector while the other one is used to actually generate the trigger. If the incoming signal crosses the level of the first comparator, the second is activated (armed).

  • Page 143: Trigger Qualifier

    GEN3t 10.3.6 Trigger qualifier The trigger detectors of a channel can also be used as qualifiers. A trigger qualifier is a situation that enables (arms) the recorder trigger features. The recorder trigger features are a combination of various channel, external, between-recorders and other trigger options.

  • Page 144: Trigger Add-Ons

    GEN3t 10.4 Trigger add-ons The trigger modes mentioned can be combined with a variety of extra features, allowing triggers on almost any signal. Some of these extra features are used to fine-tune the selected trigger mode. Other extra features expand the capabilities of the basic trigger detector.

  • Page 145: Pulse Detector

    GEN3t Figure 10.10: Slope trigger Trigger Original signal Differentiated signal With the slope triggering, it is possible to trigger on a specific change in slope of the signal, for example on a spike on a repetitive signal. If the slope (or frequency) of the signal exceeds the specified level, a trigger is generated.

  • Page 146: Hold Off

    GEN3t The pulse detector operates on samples. In the Perception software, this is translated into time. Figure 10.11: Pulse detect/reject methods Trigger Width Figure 10.11: In Diagrams 1 and 2, the pulse detection is depicted. In Diagram 1, when the trigger level is crossed, the signal remains above the trigger level for a time interval larger than pulse width W.

  • Page 147: Interval Timer

    GEN3t Figure 10.12: Trigger hold off Trigger Hold off The feature is most useful in combination with the interval timer and/or the event counter. 10.4.4 Interval timer A highly sophisticated trigger add-on is the interval timer. The interval timer is used to define a time relation between two trigger events.

  • Page 148: Interval Timer - More

    GEN3t Figure 10.13: Interval timer - Less Trigger Interval The time interval is reset on the first new trigger event. For example, this feature allows additional pulses to be detected in a standard train of pulses. Interval timer - More This interval timer mode is more complicated.

  • Page 149: Interval Timer - Between

    GEN3t For example, this function allows a "missing " pulse to be detected in a standard pulse train. Interval timer - Between For the Between mode, basically two timers are used: one to set the start of a time window and a second one to set the width of the time window. The second trigger event must be within this time window.

  • Page 150: Interval Timer - Notbetween

    GEN3t The first interval timer can be compared to the trigger hold off feature described above. The second interval timer defines a period in which a trigger event must occur. If not, it is not a related trigger event. Interval timer - NotBetween The inverse function of the Between mode of the interval timer is the NotBetween mode.

  • Page 151: Event Counter

    GEN3t 10.4.5 Event counter Sometimes it is not possible to trigger on a specified condition using a selected trigger mode alone, because several events meet the required situation. So far, we have seen “filters” that can be used to narrow the range of trigger candidates, like hold off and interval timer.

  • Page 152: Recorder And System Trigger

    GEN3t 10.5 Recorder and system trigger The trigger modes and features described so far are channel-based. Each analog channel within a GEN series system has a digital trigger detector. The trigger signals of all channels of a single recorder are combined through a logical OR to generate a combined trigger.

    GEN3t 10.6 Channel alarm Each channel has the capability to generate an alarm. An alarm situation is detected with a basic dual level detector. There are two alarm modes: Basic single-level alarm. The alarm line is active for as long as the signal exceeds the level in the specified direction.
