Auto Re-arm allows you to choose one of the following three options:
• capture one trigger block (default, Auto Re-arm disabled)
• capture multiple trigger blocks in one file
• capture multiple trigger blocks in indexed files
Why use Auto Re-arm?
You can use Auto Re-arm as a convenient way to monitor and analyze specific types of trigger events.
For example, if you set Channel 1 going above 30°C as a trigger, you can choose to repeat 100 (or
more) acquisitions with this same trigger criteria (Channel 1 > 30°C). Whether you select to capture
the trigger blocks in one file, or each in a separate file, each of the data acquisitions will occur
automatically; and each will make use of your set configuration.
Disabling Auto Re-arm
To disable Auto Re-arm, simply use Auto Re-arm’s default setting of “Capture one trigger block.”
When you capture only one trigger block you are, in essence, not making use of the automatic re-arm
feature.
Note: The trigger event, trigger by absolute time, is not suitable for automatic re-arming. In this instance, the
default of “Capture one trigger block” is automatically forced.
