Enable/Disable ALL
Occasionally you’ll need to abort an experiment in progress, due to equipment problems, etc. The quickest way to
shut down an experiment is to disable the inputs and outputs of the LC880. To do so, click the “Disable” button, then
click a particular channel button, or the ALL channels button. The inputs and outputs for all channels will be
immediately frozen.
Following a Disable command, you can re-enable the inputs and outputs by clicking the “Enable” button, then
clicking a channel button or the ALL channels button.
Enable/Disable Channel
It is sometimes convenient to disable or suspend a channel temporarily. The Enable/Disable channel functions
provide this capability from the front panel. The channel disable function is volatile: channels will be re-enabled on
power up. To disable a channel in a non-volatile way, set the timing mode to “Fixed,” or disable the input by setting
the logic to “LOW,” etc.
You can also disable a channel, or all channels, from within Trigger (see
Trigger Software Interface: General
Settings: Disable/Enable Channels
).
Trigger a Channel
This function lets you simulate an input trigger on a channel, regardless of the channel’s logic settings. This is a
useful way to initiate a timing sequence without actually performing the live experiment. You can also trigger a
channel from within the Trigger software (See
Channel Properties: Force Trigger
above).
NOTE:
You cannot trigger ALL channels, only individual channels.
Reset
The Reset button returns the selected channel or ALL channels to the last programmed settings. It resets and
reinitializes retriggering counters and reinitializes the delay of any channels that are undergoing a delay sweep.
