8. Software based triggering usually results in long period of inactivity between the trigger condition being detected and the data being acquired However the PCI 2513 avoids this situation by using pre trigger data When software based triggering is used and the PC detects the trigger condition which may be thousands of readings after the actual occurrence of the signal the PCI 2513 driver automatically looks back to the location in memory where the actual trigger causing measurement occurred and presents the acquired data that begins at the point where the trigger causing measurement occurs The maximum inactive period in this mode equals one scan period Set pre trigger gt 0 when using counter as trigger source When using a counter for a trigger source you should use a pre trigger with a value of at least 1 Since all counters start at zero with the first scan there is no valid reference in regard to rising or falling edge Setting a pre trigger to 1 or more ensures that a valid reference value is present and that the first trigger will be legitimate Stop trigger modes You can use any of the software trigger modes explained previously to stop an acquisition For example you can program an acquisition to begin on one event such as a voltage level and then stop on another event such as a digital pattern 17 PCI 2513 User s Guide Functional Details Pre triggering and post triggering modes The PCI 2513 support

50. the analog to digital converter system the setpoint cannot be evaluated until 2 us after the ADC conversion In the example above the FIRSTPORTC digital output port can be updated no sooner than 2 us after channel 2 has been sampled or 3 us after the start of the scan This 2 us delay is due to the pipelined ADC architecture The setpoint is evaluated 2 us after the ADC conversion and then FIRSTPORTC can be updated immediately The detection circuit works on data that is put into the acquisition stream at the scan rate This data is acquired according to the pre acquisition setup scan group scan period etc and returned to the PC Counters are latched into the acquisition stream at the beginning of every scan The actual counters may be counting much faster than the scan rate and therefore only every 10 100 or n count shows up in the acquisition data As aresult you can set a small detection window on a totalizing counter channel and have the detection setpoint stepped over since the scan period was too long Even though the counter value stepped into and out of the detection window the actual values going back to the PC may not This is true no matter what mode the counter channel is in When setting a detection window keep a scan period in mind This applies to analog inputs and counter inputs Quickly changing analog input voltages can step over a setpoint window if not sampled often enough 30 PCI 2513 User s Guide Function
51. ut debounce In this case the debounce time setting is ignored and the input signal goes straight from the inverter or inverter bypass to the counter module There are 16 different debounce times In either debounce mode the debounce time selected determines how fast the signal can change and still be recognized The two debounce modes are trigger after stable and trigger before stable A discussion of the two modes follows Inverter Bypass Debounce Bypass Trigger Before Stable From SCSI Connector To Counters Buffer Inverter Figure 6 Debounce model block diagram Trigger after stable mode In the trigger after stable mode the output of the debounce module does not change state until a period of stability has been achieved This means that the input has an edge and then must be stable for a period of time equal to the debounce time 20 PCI 2513 User s Guide Functional Details Output Figure 7 Debounce module trigger after stable mode The following time periods T1 through T5 pertain to Figure 7 In trigger after stable mode the input signal to the debounce module is required to have a period of stability after an incoming edge in order for that edge to be accepted passed through to the counter module The debounce time for this example is equal to T2 and TS T1 In the example above the input signal goes high at the beginning of time period T1 but never stays high for a period of time equ
