Acquisition Configuration
Configuring the Acquisition (Non-Burst Mode)
Acquisition Definition
After configuring each channel, it is necessary to configure the acquisition parameters to collect and
buffer scans. An acquisition can consist of the following components:
•
Pre-Trigger:
The state in which scans are taken before the
Trigger
(trigger start event) is satisfied.
This component is not required.
•
Post-Trigger:
The state in which scans are taken after the
Trigger
(trigger start event) and before
the
Stop
(trigger stop event). Required, however if the
Post-Trigger
is set to 0, the
Trigger
scan is
collected (1 scan) but no
Post-Stop
scans are collected
•
Post-Stop:
The state in which scans are taken after the
Stop
event. This component is not required.
These components constitute a single
Trigger Block
in the internal memory of the TempScan/1100 or
MultiScan/1200 unit. Every
Trigger Block
has one and only one
Trigger
(trigger start event).
Pre-Trigger State
The
Pre-Trigger
state is the acquisition period before the
Trigger
(trigger start event), as set via the
Set
Trigger Configuration
(
T
) command. While the unit is in this state, the
TRIGGER
LED indicator will
flash. As in any other acquisition state, the alarms and their associated outputs will be updated as
follows: At the fastest rate possible under the current channel configuration, for the TempScan/1100;
and at any programmed
Pre-Trigger
scan rate up to the fastest rate possible under the current channel
configuration, for the MultiScan/1200.
During this state, the TempScan/1100 or MultiScan/1200 may be configured to collect
Pre-Trigger
data. This may be accomplished by specifying a non-zero value for the
Pre-Trigger
pre
parameter of
the
Set Counts
(
Y
) command. However, the
Pre-Trigger
pre
value coupled with the current channel
configuration cannot exceed the total amount of available memory.
