Sequential Destinations (Auto Rearm)
The right-hand portion of the Configure Data Destination dialog box is used to activate a Sequential
Destinations (Auto Rearm) feature. This feature allows for a large number of acquisitions to take place
automatically, with each using the same configuration settings. With this feature, as soon as a trigger block
is terminated the acquisition system immediately re-arms and waits for the trigger to be satisfied.
To use Auto Rearm:
1. Set your file conversion preferences.
2. Verify that the Acquisition is configured as desired.
3. Ensure Post-trigger is set to stop on a duration.
4. Check the Auto Rearm box [located on the right-hand side of
the Configure Data Destination box].
5. Enter the starting and ending index values for the files.
6. Select OK.
7. Start recording data to disk.
When the acquisition is complete, automatic rearm will occur and
the next sequential file will be recorded to disk. The acquisitions
will stop once all files (from the starting to ending index,
inclusive) have been recorded.
Setting Auto Rearm
Why use Auto Rearm?
Auto Rearm is a convenient way to monitor and analyze specific types of trigger events. For example, you
could set PD1_A01 going above 30°C as a trigger, set a post-trigger duration of one hour, and then use
Auto Rearm to have an additional 99 acquisitions with this same trigger criteria (PD1_A01 > 30°C and
post-trigger of one-hour). Each of the data acquisitions will occur automatically with no need to recreate
the acquisition setup or restart the acquisition.
Disabling Auto Rearm
To disable Auto Rearm simply deselect the feature. Note that deselected is the default setting of the
Auto Rearm function.
