Tutorial
By generating an Ethernet trigger (“All” and “HW Trigger” button on the EN setup video window), you
can see only VINIT and IRQ counters are incrementing. This is because the first four counters are only
for the hardware TTL trigger.
By feeding the hardware TTL trigger, you can see “Valid Trigger count,” “VINIT count” and “IRQ
count” register incrementing.
If you set 1ms to “Trigger Filter Noise” register and the hardware TTL trigger pulse is less than 1ms,
then the trigger is ignored as an invalid signal. Only “Trigger Filter Noise count” must be incremented.
However, all other counters remain the same.
If you set the PRE trigger filter to 10ms but the TTL trigger has only 9ms stable PRE condition, then
only “PRE Filter Noise count” must be incremented. However, all other counters remain the same.
If you set the POST trigger filter to 10ms but the TTL trigger has only 9ms stable POST condition, then
the “POST Filter Noise count” must be incremented. Unlike PRE trigger, “VINIT count” is also
incremented, because trigger pulse is sent to CCD anyway before finishing validation of POST
condition. Once FPGA invalidates the POST condition, FPGA does not generate IRQ to PowerPC.
Besides “POST Filter Noise count” and “VINIT count,” all other counters remain the same.
