Trigger
Channel pulsewidth trigger for long positive pulses
The analog input is continuously sampled with the selected
sample rate. If the programmed trigger level is crossed by
the channel's signal from lower to higher values (rising
edge) the pulsewidth counter is started. If the signal crosses
the trigger level again in the opposite direction within the
the programmed pulsewidth time, no trigger will be detect-
ed. If the pulsewidth counter reaches the programmed
amount of samples, without the signal crossing the trigger
level in the opposite direction, the gate will start.
If the programmed trigger level is crossed by the channel's
signal from higher to lower values (falling edge) the gate
will stop.
The pulsewidth trigger modes for long pulses can be used to prevent the board from triggering on wrong (short) edges in noisy signals.

Channel pulsewidth trigger for long negative pulses
The analog input is continuously sampled with the selected
sample rate. If the programmed trigger level is crossed by
the channel's signal from higher to lower values (falling
edge) the pulsewidth counter is started. If the signal crosses
the trigger level again in the opposite direction within the
the programmed pulsewidth time, no trigger will be detect-
ed. If the pulsewidth counter reaches the programmed
amount of samples, without the signal crossing the trigger
level in the opposite direction, the gate will start.
If the programmed trigger level is crossed by the channel's
signal from lower to higher values (rising edge) the gate will
stop.

SPC_TRIG_CH0_PULSEWIDTH
Channel window trigger for entering signals
The analog input is continuously sampled with the selected
sample rate. The upper and the lower level define a win-
dow.
When the signal enters the window from the outside to the
inside, the gate will start.
When the signal leaves the window from the inside to the
outside, the gate will stop.
As this mode is purely edge-triggered, the signal outside the
window at the cards start time does not trigger the board.
