Trigger Mode
Some devices can generate the waveforms stored in the memory on board in different ways
by setting the trigger mode parameter.
The following trigger modes are possible on the DAQArb 5411 devices:
Single The waveform described by the user in the sequence list
1
is
generated once by going through all the sequence list. Only a
start trigger is required.
Continuous The waveform described by the user in the sequence list is
generated infinitely by recycling through all of the sequence list.
Only the start trigger is required.
Stepped After the start trigger, the waveform described by the first
sequence entry is generated. It then waits for another trigger. At
the time of triggering, the waveform described by the second
sequence entry is generated, and so on. When all of the sequence
list is exhausted, it returns to the first sequence entry.
Burst After the start trigger has been implemented, the waveform
described by the first sequence entry is generated until another
trigger is implemented. At the time of triggering, the earlier
waveform is completed before the waveform described by the
second sequence entry is generated and so on. When all of the
sequence list is exhausted, it returns to the first sequence entry.
To change the trigger mode setting, set paramID to
ND_TRIGGER_MODE.

A sequence list is used in staging-based waveform generation for linking, looping, and
generating multiple waveforms stored on the onboard memory. The sequence list has a list of
entries. Each entry is called a stage. Each stage specifies which waveform to generate and the
other associated settings for that waveform (for example, the number of loops). For more
details on staging-based waveform generation, refer to
WFM_Load in this manual. For more
details on triggering and trigger sources, refer to your DAQArb 5411 User Manual.
