Acqiris SA240P User's Manual

5.3 Trigger output

A trigger output pulse can be generated for external synchronization.

When the ADC card is ready to be triggered and a valid trigger signal occurs, a trigger output pulse
is generated. This signal is available on the front panel TRG OUT MMCX connector, and may be
enabled or disabled as required.

In idle state, Trigger Out signal is low. When a trigger is accepted a high level pulse occurs.

There are several trigger sources or signals which may be assigned to the trigger out connector
(See table below).

Trigger out sources

Description of signal

TriggerAccepted (default)

A pulse signal is sent directly to the Trigger Out.

TriggerAcceptedResync

A pulse signal resynchronized to a sub-multiple of sample clock is sent
to the Trigger Out.

TriggerCompare

The trigger input condition has been satisfied, but not necessarily
triggered, e.g. the trigger enable was not asserted.

SelfTrigger

See

Self trigger mode (page 25)

Table 5.2

- List of supported trigger out signals.

Trigger output signal behavior

By default, the trigger output is

LowLevel

If selecting a trigger output source, e.g.

TriggerAcceptedResync

TriggerAccepted

as trigger

output source, when the ADC card is ready to be triggered and a valid trigger signal occurs, a trigger
output pulse is generated.

Selecting the trigger output source

The trigger output can be selected using following properties / attributes:
