Table 1- 5: TLA7Axx module trigger system (Cont.)
Characteristic Description
Signal In 2 A backplane input signal.
Trigger In A backplane input signal that causes the main acquisition and the MagniVu
acquisition to trigger if they are not already triggered.
Active trigger resources 16 maximum (excluding counter/timers)
Word recognizers are traded off one-for-one as Signal In 1, Signal In 2, glitch
detection, setup and hold detection, or transition detection resources are added.
Trigger states 16
n
Trigger state sequence rate Same rate as valid data samples received. 500 MHz maximum.
Trigger machine actions
Main acquisition trigger Triggers the main acquisition memory
Main trigger position Programmable to any data sample (2 ns boundaries)
MagniVu trigger Main acquisition machine controls the triggering of the MagniVu memory
MagniVu trigger position Programmable within 2 ns boundaries and separate from the main acquisition
memory trigger position
Increment/decrement counter Counter/timers used as counters can be incremented or decremented.
Start/stop timer Either of the two counter/timers used as timers can be started or stopped.
Reset counter/timer Either of the two counter/timers can be reset.
When a counter/timer used as a timer is reset, the timer continues in the started or
stopped state that it was prior to the reset.
Reloadable word recognizer (snapshot) Loads the current acquired data sample into the reference value of the word
recognizer via a trigger machine action. All data channels are loaded into their
respective word recognizer reference register on a one-to-one manner.
Reloadable word recognizer latency 378 ns
Signal Out A signal sent to the backplane to be used by other modules
Trigger Out A signal sent to the backplane to trigger other modules
Storage control
Storage Storage is allowed only if a specific condition is met. The condition can use any of the
trigger resources except for counter/timers. Storage commands defined in the current
trigger state will override the global storage control.
Storage can be used to start the acquisition with storage initially turned on (default
setting) or off.
By event Storage can be turned on or off; only the current sample can be stored. Event storage
control overrides any global storage commands.
Block storage (store stretch) When enabled, 31 samples are stored before and after the valid sample.
This allows the storage of a group of samples around a valid data sample when
storage control is being used. This only has meaning when storage control is used.
Block storage is disallowed when glitch storage or setup and hold violation storage is
enabled.
