Triggering Measurements

Example 1

Measurement: Take a number of measurements after a delay. Take 10

measurements each time you push  and have the Product wait 5 seconds

after the key push so that you can get away from the sensitive measurement

setup.

Solution: From the trigger default state, push  to stop readings. In the

Trigger Setup menu, set the Triggers/Arm (Count) to 10. Under the Extended

Settings, set the Arm1 delay to 5 seconds. Push  to take the Trigger

subsystem out of Idle. The Trigger subsystem waits 5 seconds, takes 10

readings, and then stops.

This works by enforcing a delay in a layer prior to the one where the 10 readings

are then captured.

Example 1b

Measurement: Example 1 discards the previously captured readings for each

push of , as noted by Rdgs in the Statistics function, which starts from 0

with each push of .

If the requirement is to accumulate a set of readings with each push of ,

use the 1b solution below.

Solution: From the Trigger Setup, push  (Reset to Defaults). Do not push

 because you want the Initiate layer to be in Continuous ON. Set the

Triggers/Arm (Count) to 10 as in Example 1. In the Extended Settings, set the

Arm1 event to Manual, and the Arm1 Delay to 5 seconds. With each push of

, the Trigger subsystem waits 5 seconds, and takes 10 readings,

accumulating each set of 10 readings. (Note the Rdgs count in Statistics with

each push of .)

This works by having the TRIG key as a layer source Event, rather than using it

for the Trigger subsystem initiation as in Example 1. Leaving the Initiation layer in

Continuous ON means the Trigger subsystem remains in the free-run, initiated

state. Since it is the initiation event that discards the previous readings, they are

retained on subsequent cycles.

Note

Setting the trigger event to Manual in the trigger layer, instead of the

Arm1 layer, will not give 10 readings with each push of .

 must be pushed 10 times to get 10 readings.

Examples 1 and 1b use the Arm1 and Trigger layers. Since the object was

merely to have the delay before the count, any two layers could have been used

provided the delay was in the one that comes earliest in the Trigger subsystem

sequence (Arm2 -> Arm1 -> Trigger). Although in the example given it makes no

difference, when operating at the maximum speeds supported by the Digitize

function, starting at the Trigger layer and working up to Arm1 and Arm2 as

required will give the best performance.
