Trigger Lines (Ttltrg) - HP E1433A User Manual

Trigger Lines (TTLTRG)

TTLTRG consist of eight TTL lines on the VXI backplane on connector P2.
They are available to provide synchronization between devices. VXI devices
can use the TTLTRG lines for simple communication with other devices.
For example, a device can wait for a line to go high before taking an action,
or it can assert a line as a signal to another device.
The HP E1433A uses two trigger lines. These can be placed on any two of
the eight TTLTRG lines available on the VXI backplane. The lines are:
q
Sync/Trigger line
q
Free-running clock line
When programmed in a multiple-module configuration, only one of the HP
E1433A modules can provide the clock signal but any of them can trigger.
