PXI Trigger Bus Segment 1 PXI Trigger Bus Segment 2 PXI Trigger Bus Segment 3 Figure 2 14 PXI Trigger Architecture Star Trigger Lines Thirteen PXI trigger lines are connected to slots 3 to 15 The PXI star trigger lines can be used to synchronize the operation of several different PXI peripheral modules The PXI star trigger bus offers ultra high performance synchronization features to users of PXI systems The star trigger bus implements a dedicated trigger line between the first peripheral slot adjacent to the system slot and the other peripheral slots A star trigger controller can be installed in this slot and can be used to provide very precise trigger signals to other peripheral modules Systems that do not require this advanced trigger can install any standard peripheral module in this slot Through the required use of line length equalization techniques for routing the star triggers PXI systems can meet demanding triggering requirements for which bused triggers are not appropriate Note that the star trigger can be used to communicate information back to the star trigger controller as in the case of reporting a slot s status as well as responding to information provided by the star trigger controller This trigger architecture for PXI gives two unique advantages in augmenting the bused trigger lines The first advantage is a guarantee of a unique trigger line for each module in the system Fo
