pulse_trig_polarity(VPU1, 0)

Sets the pulse card trigger output for negative polarity.

pulse_trig_output

pulse_trig_source

pulse_trig_source

This command sets the trigger source.

int pulse_trig_source(int instr_id, long source);

Standard, Full Arb, Segment Arb

This command sets the trigger source that is used to trigger the pulse card to start its output.

If the software trigger source selected, the pulse_trig command will select the trigger mode

(continuous, burst, or trig burst), and initiate the start of pulse output.

If an external trigger source selected, the pulse_trig command will select the trigger mode and

arm pulse output. Pulse output will start when the required external trigger pulse is applied to the

Trigger In connector of the pulse card. There is a trigger-in delay of 560 ns. This is the delay from the

trigger-in pulse to the time of the rising edge of the output pulse.

4220-PGU and 4225-PMU: Do not use the two external falling trigger sources

(pulse_trig_source function) with the positive trigger output polarity (pulse_trig_polarity

function) on the master card that triggers itself and other subordinate cards. These two falling trigger

sources should only be used when an external piece of equipment is used to supply the trigger

pulses to the 4220-PGU and 4225-PMU. This applies to all three pulse modes (standard pulse,

Segment Arb, and full arb).

Because trigger source is a card-level setting and not a channel setting, using channel 1 or 2 will set

the card to the specified source card 1. Similarly, channel 3 or 4 will set the source for card 2.
