tion>
<Cl_state> := {L,H,X}
<C2_state> := {L,H,X}
<EX_state> := {L,H,X}
<trig_condition> := {PR, AB, EN, EX}

TRig__PAttern <C l_state>,<C2_state>,<EX_state>,<trig_condi-
tion>
The following command configures the logic state of the pattern as
HLX (CH1 -- H, CH2 = L, EX = X) and defines the trigger con-
dition as pattern absent (AB).
