Details
This trigger model template allows you to sort components and place them into up to four bins, based
on the comparison to limits.
To set a limit as unused, set the high value for the limit to be less than the low limit.
All limit patterns and the all fail pattern are sent on digital I/O lines 1 to 4, where 1 is the least
significant bit.
After selecting a trigger model template, you can view the trigger model blocks in a graphical format
by pressing the front-panel
MENU
key and under Trigger, selecting
Configure
. You can also add or
delete blocks and change trigger model settings from this screen. You can use the
TRIGger:BLOCk:LIST?
command to view the trigger model blocks in a list format.
