Trigger Schematic

(right portion of screen)



This area is where the actual configuration is accomplished. Every trigger configuration starts with a match condition and ends with Trigger Out, so the work flow is designed from left to right, starting with the Match Types (see: Match Types).

When the very first Match type is selected and the match condition has been specified, the match will automatically be routed graphically to the Trigger Out.

For Model DV3400, this means it will route to TERMS 1, then the NON-Sequenced option and then to Trigger Out. This automatic function is only performed if no other connections already exist.

Once you have started making connections for your trigger configuration, the software will not try to "guess" your intentions. Since this would hinder your work and cause aggravation, the software allows you to manually connect or disconnect if the action is valid. Only the obvious connect and disconnects will be performed automatically.

NOTE: The graphical connections in the trigger configuration directly correspond to the physical circuit connections in the hardware, making this screen an overview of the resulting logic in the analyzer's hardware.
