Timeout
The timeout trigger allows triggering based on the occurrence or non‐occurrence of two
events within a pre‐defined period of time. Patterns can be added to the Start Events and
End Events list. An occurrence of a pattern of the Start Events list starts the timer, or
resets the timer if the timer is already running. Depending on the configurable Trigger
mode, the trigger is activated when the End Event(s) occur before the timer expires, or
the timer expires before the End Event(s) occurs.
 You can set a Timeout.
 Select a Pattern for the Start Event. (Start Event resets the timer.)
 Select a Pattern for the End Event.
 Enter the Timeout Value in milliseconds or microseconds.
 Select a Trigger Mode:
 If End Event occurs before timer expires.
 If timer expires before End Event occurs.

WARNING:
In Advanced Mode, Short State Jump Intervals Can Cause Hardware Queue
Overflow and Corrupt Frames.
When using Advanced Mode, if too many state jumps occur in a short time, the hardware
queue can overflow, which may corrupt frames. For example, an infinite loop can cause
many state jumps in a short time. Hardware overflow can occur if interval between state
jumps is less than 60 DWORDs.
