Channel window trigger for entering signals

The analog input is continuously sampled with the selected sample rate. The upper and the lower level define a win- dow. Every time the signal enters the the window from the outside, a triggerevent will be detected.

Register	Value	Direction	set to	Value
SPC_TRIGGERMODE	40000	r/w	TM_CHANNEL	20040
SPC_TRIGGERMODE0	40200	r/w	TM_CHXWINENTER	10040

SPC_HIGHLEVEL0	42000	r/w	Sets the window’s upper level relatively to the channel’s input range.	board dependant

SPC_LOWLEVEL0	42100	r/w	Sets the window’s lower level relatively to the channel’s input range.	board dependant

Channel window trigger for leaving signals

The analog input is continuously sampled with the selected sample rate. The upper and the lower level define a win- dow. Every time the signal leaves the the window from the inside, a triggerevent will be detected.
