2.4.3 Gating Blocks
Figure 2.15: Gating Blocks: Each gating block can use an arbitrary combination of inputs to
trigger its state machine. The outputs can be individually inverted and routed to
the AND-gate feeding the trigger blocks.
To decrease the amount of data transmitted to the PC, the Ndigo250M-14 includes 4 indepen-
dent gate and delay units. A gate and delay unit creates a gate window starting at a specified
time after a trigger, closing the window at gate stop.
Trigger blocks can use the gate signal to suppress data acquisition: Only data that fulfills
zero sup-pression specifications occurring in an active gate window is written to the PC.
All triggers from the 4 trigger blocks, the GATE and TRIGGER inputs, triggers from a
connected board and the function generator can be used as inputs.
The retrigger feature will create a new gate if a trigger occurs during an active gate window.
The gate signal can be inverted, causing an active gate to close for a time defined by the user.
The parameters of a gating block are set in structure ndigo gating block described on page 36.
