Functional Description

 

Triggers

 

A trigger starts or stops an interrupt-mode or DMA-mode analog input 
operation. An operation can use either one or two triggers. Every 
operation must have a 

 

start trigger

 

 that marks the beginning of an 

operation. You can use an optional second trigger, the 

 

about trigger

 

, to 

define when an operation stops. Use one of the following trigger sources 
to start an analog input operation: 

 

●

 

Internal

 

 — When you enable the analog input operation, conversions 

begin immediately. 

 

●

 

External Analog

 

 — While an analog trigger is not a hardware 

function of the DAS-1800ST/HR Series boards, you can program an 
analog trigger using one of the analog input channels as the trigger 
channel. The DAS-1800ST/HR Series DriverLINX software provides 
functions for an analog trigger; refer to “DriverLINX Configuration 
Notes” on page C-1 and the DriverLINX on-line documentation 
provided with your DAS-1800ST/HR Series board.

 

●

 

External Digital

 

 — Connect the digital trigger to TGIN (pin 46 of 

the main I/O connector or pin 42 of STA-1800U connectors J1 and 
J2). Trigger types are as follows:

–

 

Positive-edge trigger

 

 - Triggering occurs on the rising edge of the 

trigger signal.

–

 

Negative-edge trigger

 - Triggering occurs on the falling edge of 

the trigger signal.

The actual points at which conversions begin depend on whether the 
clock source is internal or external, as follows:

●

Internal clock source

 — The 82C54 counter/timer is idle until the 

trigger occurs. Within 400ns, the first conversion begins. Subsequent 
conversions are synchronized to the internal clock. 

●

External clock source

 — Conversions are armed when the trigger 

occurs; they begin with the next active edge of the external clock 
source and continue with subsequent active edges. 

The polarity of external triggers in DAS-1800ST/HR Series boards is 
software-selectable. Figure 2-5 illustrates the enabling of conversions 
with a software trigger and with internal and external clock sources. In the 
diagram, the software enabling of the conversion process represents the 
point at which the computer issues a write to allow conversions. The
