Comments
• If
Signal1
and
Signal2
are not from the above list, then the command will be replaced
with a
Period
= 0 (
return code
RTC5_PARAM_ERROR
).
• After a
set_trigger
command (with
Period
> 0), a data pair will be stored immediately
and subsequently at intervals defined by the specified measurement period. Data
storage continues until the command is called again (with
Period
= 0), or until
Period
= 0) is called or until the full data storage capacity is reached
(automatic termination at the limit of 2
20
data pairs).
• If
set_trigger
which loaded a file as correction
file
No
=3 or
No
=4, then the memory area’s upper half reserved for data recording via
set_trigger
will already be occupied. Then, only 2
19
data pairs will be recordable with
set_trigger
and measurement recording will automatically terminate at this value. If
loading of correction files
No
=3 or
No
=4 occurs after more than 2
19
data pairs had been
recorded via
set_trigger
, then the values beyond 2
19
will no longer be available.
reestablishes the original state of up to 2
20
possible measurement
pairs.
• Measurement sessions started via
set_trigger
run only during list execution. This
applies even for sessions not terminated via
set_trigger
(
Period
= 0) or
Period
= 0). Here, the measurement session automatically resumes when
a new list starts (
doesn’t reset the measurement session’s status).
During list execution, the status can be reset either via
set_trigger
(
Period
= 0) or
. If no list is active (here
won’t execute), the status can
be reset via
• Sample values and status values returned by the scan system and stored on the RTC

via
set_trigger
(
Signal1
,
Signal2
= 1-23, 25-30) are always in the RTC
®
5’s 20-bit
range, even if the DLL is set to RTC
®
4 compatibility mode. The measured and stored
values can be subsequently transferred to the PC via the
command for
evaluation. We recommend explicitly ending the measurement session before reading
the data. The measured values are transferred to the PC via
data and must be evaluated accordingly by the user (see comments for
• The current status of a measurement session can be queried via the
command.
