Trigger Coincidence Level
Operating with the default firmware, the acquisition trigger is a board common trigger. This
common trigger allows the coincidence acquisition mode to be performed through the Majority
operation.
Enabling the coincidences is possible by writing at register address 0x810C:
Bits[3:0] enable the specific trigger request (i.e. the group) to participate in the coincidence;
Bits[23:20] set the coincidence window (T
TVAW
) linearly in steps of the Trigger clock (8ns);
Bits[26:24] set the Majority (i.e. Coincidence) level; the coincidence takes place when:
Number of enabled trigger requests > Majority level
Supposing bits[3:0] = FF (i.e. all groups are enabled) and bits[26:24] = 01 (i.e. Majority level = 1),
a common trigger is issued whenever at least two of the enabled trigger requests are in
coincidence within the programmed T
TVAW
.
The Majority level must be smaller than the number of trigger requests enabled via bits[3:0]
mask. By default, bits[26:24] = 00 (i.e. Majority level = 0), which means the coincidence
acquisition mode is disabled and the T
TVAW
is meaningless. In this case, the common trigger is
simple OR of the enabled trigger requests.
Fig. 3.7 shows the trigger management in case the coincidences are disabled. To simplify the
plot, only the first two groups are considered as enabled and so only one channel per group.
