6.2 Recording Options - General
The General tab opens a window shown in the previous illustration made up
of four main boxes marked Recording Type, Buffer Size, Trigger Position,
and Options.
Recording type
The Recording Type box presents three options that
allow you to set how IBTracer begins and ends a
recording. The options are: Snapshot, Manual Trigger,
and Event Trigger.
Snapshot
Fixed-length recording whose size is determined by the "Buffer Size" box
in the Recording Options dialog or by a manual click of the Stop button.
Recording begins by clicking
on the Tool Bar and ends when either the
selected buffer size is filled or you press the Stop button.
Manual Trigger
Recording whose Trigger point is caused by pressing the Trigger button on
the front panel.
Recording is begun by pressing on the Tool Bar. Recording continues
in a circular manner within the limits set by the buffer size. Recording ends
when
is clicked on the Tool Bar or the Trigger button is pressed on the
analyzer's front panel. If you press the Trigger button, recording will
continue until the post-trigger memory has been filled.
Event Trigger
Recording whose Trigger is defined by a specific event or events. Before
recording begins, you define the event trigger in the Events Recording
Options dialog box (accessible by selecting Setup> Recording Options
>Events from the menu). You begin the recording by clicking
on the
Tool Bar. Recording continues in a circular manner within the limits set by
the buffer size. Once the trigger event occurs, some post-trigger recording
occurs, then the recording ends.
Note
In this mode, the recording can be stopped manually in the same
way as for "manual trigger" mode.
