Digital Pulse Input Trigger
In this sampling scenario, a sampling program will automatically start when a pulse is received from a digital
device. The program will continue until it is complete, even if a pulse is only sent once from the digital device to the
ProSample. Therefore, a digital pulse essentially triggers a stand-alone sampling program to start.
This sampling scenario can only be completed with the ProSample P-12. The SDI-12 cable with flying leads (item
#630146) must be used. Please refer to the
SDI-12 Cable with Flying Leads
for
assistance when setting up this sampling scenario.
NOTE:
The settings modified in the section
Configure Key Instrument Settings
on page 22 will be applied to each
and every program, so it is important these settings are carefully set before starting any program.
NOTE:
Screenshots demonstrate an example setup. Settings should be adjusted for your specific application.
