TriggerConstant('Expression','Level*','Epsilon*','DeadTime*')

Arguments

'Expression'

Measured value

'Level*'

Value specifying the center line of the area in which the trigger should release

'Epsilon*'

Value specifying the distance of both area boundaries for the center line

'DeadTime*'

Time specification in seconds, for which the trigger condition must be fulfilled until release. If no delay is desired, the value 0 must be entered.

Parameters ending with * are only evaluated once at the start of the acquisition.

Description

The function returns TRUE as long as 'Expression' remains within the area ['Level' - 'Epsilon', 'Level' + 'Epsilon'] for at least the duration of the 'DeadTime'.

Example

The trigger should be released if the measured value is longer than one second in a range between 0.5 and 1.5.

Solution

In the figure below the blue curve shows the original signal and the red bar shows the released trigger.
