Trigger Function
48
The major difference between interrupt function and trigger
function is that after the user selects any trigger source, the
IO operation will be frozen. In other words, the output will
stay at the previous stage and the input reading values will
also be frozen. Whereas for the interrupt function, the IO
operation is still running.
The following flowchart illustrates the way the trigger
function operates.
