Trigger mode values
triggerMode
Description
digio.TRIG_RISINGA or 7
Detects rising-edge triggers as input. Asserts a TTL-low
pulse for output.
digio.TRIG_RISINGM or 8
Asserts a TTL-high pulse for output. Input edge detection is
not possible in this mode.
When programmed to any mode except digio.TRIG_BYPASS, the output state of the I/O line is
controlled by the trigger logic, and the user-specified output state of the line is ignored.
Use of either digio.TRIG_SYNCHRONOUSA or digio.TRIG_SYNCHRONOUSM is preferred over
digio.TRIG_SYNCHRONOUS, because digio.TRIG_SYNCHRONOUS is provided for compatibility
with the digital I/O and TSP-Link triggering on other Keithley Instruments products.
To control the line state, set the mode to digio.TRIG_BYPASS and use the digio.writebit()
and digio.writeport() commands.
Example
digio.trigger[4].mode = 2
Sets the trigger mode for I/O line 4 to
digio.TRIG_RISING.
