The "Trigger Settings" window
This dialog, also named as the "Trigger Engine", supports you in configuring triggers for a recording session.




Trigger name, Description and Activation
You can setup a unique name, a description and you can activate the trigger here in this dialog.


Condition
Now it's time to establish the condition for that trigger: That means to determine, whether recording should be started or stopped, if this trigger is fired (the event occurred!!!). See also "Record | Start recording" for more information on recording status with or without triggers! In any case you can stop recording with the function "Record | Stop recording" !


The available trigger modes are:
Start trigger - A start trigger activates the recording of data.
Stop trigger - A stop trigger deactivates the data recording.
Inactivity trigger - An inactivity trigger fires, as soon as a certain configured event doesn't occur with a speific time period (Timeout on event layer).




The available trigger types are:
  • Data Triggers
  • Signal Triggers
  • Error Triggers
  • Time Triggers


    Look at the "Trigger Panel" notes of the "Main Screen" for a description of what triggers are!!!
