External Digital Triggering
An external digital trigger occurs when a rising edge or falling
edge is detected on the digital signal connected to the AOTG
(Analog output trigger) pin, as shown. Users can program the
trigger polarity through ADLINK software. The signal level of
the external digital trigger signals should be TTL-compatible,
and the minimum pulse 20 ns.
4.5.5 Waveform Generation Trigger Modes
The analog output supports post, delay, post trigger with retrigger,
and delay trigger with retrigger modes.
Post-Trigger Waveform Generation
Post-trigger generation is indicated to generate a waveform
immediately following a trigger signal. The number of patterns
to be updated after the trigger signal is specified by
UC_counter * IC_counter, as shown.
