Example 3: Triggering the digitizer and an external device with GPIO

1. Connect a cable from the TRIG connector to the external device. 

2.

SetTriggerMode

(“external trigger”) /* This will activate the trigger module to listen to TRIG”

3.

SetDirectionGPIOPort

(“output”) /* This enables output on TRIG connector*/

4.

ArmTrigger

 

5.

WriteGPIOPort

(“1”) /* This sends a signal on the TRIG connector that triggers the devices*/

The GPIO input function always listen to the trigger pin. This means that the external trigger pin value 
can always be read from the GPIO function 

ReadGPIOPort

. 

6.3 Output 

The output is activated through the software command 

SetDirectionGPIOPort

 and the signal level is set 

by 

WriteGPIOPort

. The input function 

ReadGPIOport

 will then return the output level. 

6.4 GPIO in ADQ Development Kit 

The GPIO signals from TRIG and SYNC are available in the ADQ Development Kit for real-time interac-
tion with the signal flow.
