Figure 2.3:

Channel Options of the Channel Configuration Window.

The Channel Option section is separated in 2 sub-section, the

OTPG Options

section that defines the channel and its

mode and the

Trigger Options

section that control the trigger method of the selected channel. The Trigger Options

are not available when the channel is in Input mode.

OTPG Options

1. The

Channel

field identifies which of the available channels is currently being modified. The channel can be

changed by selecting a new one from the drop-down list.

2. The

Mode

field identifies the type of signal sent. Three modes are available,

CW (Continuous Wave)

,

Square

,

and

Input

mode. Each mode enables different options of the Sequence Option section that are explained in

more detail in section

2.1.3

.

3. The

Inverted Output

checkbox reverse the signal output. When selected, the ON TTL signal will send 0 V, while

the OFF TTL signal will send 5 V.

Trigger Options

4. The

Source

trigger option allows to chose between a

Manual Trigger

(activated by the user) or an

Input

trigger,

which is coming from a channel input.

5. The

Type

defines the type of trigger that is used to start/stop a sequence. The

Triggered

type can starts and

stops a sequence at a rising edge while the

Gated

type can starts the sequence at a rising edge and stops it at a

falling edge. A more refined interaction of the trigger with the defined sequence can be set up using the

Mode

field. Not all Trigger Type are available for each combination of Trigger Mode and Repeatability. The different

combinations are shown in Figure

2.8
