Multiple Record captures as well as Single Record
captures:
In Auto-Trigger mode, the trigger system
generates a software trigger after waiting a
pre-determined amount of time. In Multiple
Record captures, each record can generate
its own timeout. This mode is usually
employed during the part of experimentation
in which you are not aware of what exact
signals you are trying to capture.
In Normal Trigger mode, the trigger system
waits indefinitely for trigger to occur. No
software triggers are generated. Once the
required number of trigger events has
occurred, data is displayed and the ATS860
is re-armed to capture data again. This
mode is usually employed for capturing
transient signals that occur repeatedly.
In Single-Shot mode, the trigger system waits
indefinitely for one (single-record capture) or
more (multiple record capture) trigger events.
Once all triggers have occurred, data is
captured and displayed and no further
acquisitions are allowed.
Acquisition Memory Control
This control is not available on Slave digitizers.
API Panel allows the user to set Record Length, Pre-
Trigger Depth and Number of Records to Capture. If
the Modify button is clicked, a dialog box appears
that lets the user set Record Length, Pre-Trigger
Depth and Number of Records to Capture. API
Panel checks for all dependencies between these
three settings and then sets them on the hardware.
Verification of the settings is done based on the
following dependencies:
•
Record Length must be a minimum of 256
points
