Trigger Specifications
| Feature | Description |
| Operating speed: | 250MHz |
| Min. Detectable Duration: | 4ns |
| Match Circuits: | 8 |
| Match Types: | Each match circuit can be configured to any one of the following 9 match types: Pattern (X,0,1), Edge (X,⮥,⮧,⭥), Stable, =, ≠, >, <, ≥, ≤. |
| Match width: | Each match circuit operates across all channels. Edge and stable matches specify an 'OR' of multiple channels. The others specify an 'AND' of multiple channels. |
| Duration Qualifiers: | Each match type (except edge) can specify min. duration the match must last to be valid. |
| Sequencers: | 4 - 4 stage sequencers. Can be cascaded in any combination. Each of the 16 stages contains a 1M count pass counter. |
| Sum-of-Products: | Each match circuit is connected to 8, 8-input AND gates, allowing the matches to be shared and combined. Each of these product terms are connected to an OR gate on each sequencer stage input and on the direct trigger out. This is a fully populated sum-of-products array, allowing for much more advanced usage of the match circuits. |
