Fig. 3.3: Trigger Overlap
A trigger can be refused for the following causes:
acquisition is not active;
memory is FULL and therefore there are no available buffers;
the required number of samples for building the pre-trigger of the event is not reached yet;
this happens typically as the trigger occurs too early either with respect to the
RUN_ACQUISITION command (see § 3.3.1) or with respect to a buffer emptying after a
MEMORY_FULL status (see § 3.3.5);
the trigger overlaps the previous one and the board is not enabled for accepting overlapped
triggers.
As a trigger is refused, the current buffer is not frozen and the acquisition continues writing on it.
The EVENT COUNTER can be programmed in order to be either incremented or not. If this
function is enabled, the EVENT COUNTER value identifies the number of the triggers sent (but
the event number sequence is lost); if the function is not enabled, the EVENT COUNTER value
coincides with the sequence of buffers saved and readout.
