Trigger menu
The menus under Trigger in the main menu allow you to configure triggering operations from the 2470
front panel. The following topics describe the settings that are available on these interactive screens.
Trigger Templates menu
The Templates menu allows you to choose from one of several preprogrammed trigger
models. When you select a template, settings you can specify for that template are
shown in the lower part of the screen.
You can also customize the templates from the front panel using the Configure menu under Trigger
on the main menu screen. For details, see Trigger Configure menu (on page 3-34
).
The table below describes the trigger model templates and available user-specified settings and their
default settings.
Setting Description
ConfigList
Creates a trigger model that loads a source and measure configuration list. The
lists are iterated until every index in the configuration list with fewer indexes has
been loaded. For example, if the measure list has seven indexes and the source
configuration list has 10, it will iterate through seven indexes of the source list and
all of the measure list. However, if the source list has three indexes and the
measure list has five, it will iterate through three indexes of measure list and all of
the indexes in the source list. At each index when the output is turned on, a
measurement is made and the output is turned off.
Settings that you can change before generating the trigger model:
 Measure Config List
 Source Config List
 Delay (default 0.001 s)
 Reading Buffer (default
)
DurationLoop
Creates a trigger model that makes continuous measurements for a specified
amount of time.
Settings that you can change before generating the trigger model:
 Duration (default 1.00 s)
 Delay (default 0.001 s)
 Reading Buffer (default defbuffer1)
Empty
Clears the present trigger model.
GradeBinning
Creates a trigger model that successively measures components and compares
their readings to high or low limits to grade components.
