Event Configuration
The M8070A software system supports some of the hardware triggering
capabilities of M8195A. These features can be configured via the modules
view when accessing the 'Trig In', 'Event In', or 'Event Config' functional
blocks.
Trig In and Event In
These blocks allow configuration of the input comparator state of the AWG
module by defining a decision threshold voltage and an input detection
polarity. An event is asserted from the respective input in case the
detected voltage transitions above the defined threshold voltage for
positive polarity or below the threshold voltage for negative polarity.
Event Config
In this functional block, it is possible to configure whether "Trig In" or
"Event In" is connected to trigger a conditional break event in a
multi-block sequence. Using M8195A SFP (Soft Front Panel), the advance
event corresponds to the conditional break event in M8070A.
By using the break command from the sequence editor it is possible to fire
the "Force (Advance) Event" in the SFP. Additionally, it is possible to
enable or disable the hardware advance event by using the "Advance
Event State" switch.
SCPI Commands
The advance sequencing can also be executed using the remote
programming. For details of these commands, refer to M8000 Series
Programming Guide.
