Configuring the PXI Trigger Bus Front Panel Trigger Port Configuration Guidelines
Front Panel Trigger Port Configuration Guidelines
1 You may not configure more than one source for a trigger signal on a single
trigger line.
2 If you want the Trigger Port input signal to go to both segments, check
both boxes.
Note: The SFP Trigger Ports GUI and the IVI API do not enforce these guidelines.
However, if you ignore the guidelines, your trigger signal application might not
work.
1) You may not configure more than one source for a trigger
signal on a single trigger line.
Configuring more than one source for a trigger signal on a single trigger line can
damage trigger circuits and also block the generation of a trigger signal. When
you configure Trig 1 or Trig 2 as an input port, be careful to avoid configuring
modules or routes to use the same trigger lines on the same Trigger Bus
Segment.
If you configure Trig 1 or Trig 2 as an input port, follow these guidelines:
- Do not configure modules in that Trigger Bus Segment to drive trigger signals
on the same trigger line.
- Do not route trigger signals to that Trigger Bus Segment from an adjacent
Bus Segment on the same trigger line.
2) If you want the Trigger Port input signal to go to both
segments, check both boxes.
For Trigger Bridge firmware after version 0, be aware that if you want the input
Trigger Signal to go to both Bus Segments, you must check both boxes; you
cannot route the signal between segments. This guideline applies to Front Panel
Trigger Ports configured as Input and is not applicable to Trigger Ports that are
configured as Output. This guideline is not enforced by the SFP or by the IVI API.
