Working with Triggers and Downloading Event Records
8.7
Configuring Event Notification
Triggered event data needs a destination for recording purposes, and PSCSV provides a method of
assigning trigger data to one or more destinations. In the destination window below are both User
and System Triggers (unseen in window). These destinations are:
◦
Flash Memory
−
events are always recorded in flash memory
◦
Communications Port 1
◦
Communications Port 2
◦
Ethernet Port, UDP
◦
Four Relays, called Contact Outputs on the rear panel (see also Configuring Relays)
1. Select “Event Notification” to reveal a list of User and System triggers that may be assigned
to the event reporting channel, including signaling one of the four relay contacts.
Figure 8.8: Configuring Event Notification Screen
2. Select the trigger(s) required for each destination, right click on the selection(s) and choose
“Check Selected.” If you desire to globally send all of the triggers to flash memory, right click
on the destination window and select Check All.
3. Repeat step 2 to assign triggers for each required destination.
4. Continue on to configuring Schultz-Laios settings if needed. Otherwise, click OK to install
the triggers and close the Configure Triggers window.
5. To configure one of the relay contacts to actuate with a specific event (either User or System
Trigger), please see Configuring Relays.
NOTE:
Changing any of the trigger parameters will cause the event partition of flash memory
to be erased. If necessary, make sure to download important event records first.

Downloading Triggered Events from Flash
When properly set up, the Model 1133A will store event records in the flash module, which can
then be downloaded and viewed on your computer. Records are subdivided into different types,
including the record of the event, and the actual data recorded at the time of the event. In this
section, the emphasis will be on retrieving the event record and also the data record from the flash
memory module.
