Trigger modes
Using the various trigger modes, GEN3i 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.
10.3.1
Basic trigger mode
The basic trigger mode can be compared to the trigger mode available when
using an analog trigger detector, for example as found on a classic scope.

In this mode, a single
-
level trigger detector is active, the primary level. As
mentioned previously, the signal needs to actually cross the preset level. Both
the level and direction of crossing can be selected.
Relevant settings for this mode:
l
Mode: basic
l
Primary level: any value within the input range
l
Direction: positive or negative
