Trigger modes and appendant registers

Positive (rising) and negative (falling) edges TTL trigger

This mode is for detecting the rising and falling edges of an ex

ternal TTL signal. The board will trigger on the first rising or falling 

edge that is detected after starting the board.

The next trigger event will then be detected, if the actual record

-

ing/replay has finished and the board is armed and waiting for 

a trigger again.

TTL pulsewidth trigger for long HIGH pulses

This mode is for detecting HIGH pulses of an external TTL signal 

that are longer than a programmed pulsewidth. If the pulse is 

shorter than the programmed pulsewidth, no trigger will be de

-

tected. The board will trigger on the first pulse matching the trig

-

ger condition after starting the board.

The next trigger event will then be detected, if the actual record
