Using the Blue Dot Menus

Within the Actions screen, you can configure the external signals and Counters by
clicking the blue dot in the upper left corner of each button. Once you have made
your settings, you can save them for later use or you can set them as your default
settings.

Setting External Triggers

Use the blue dot found on all Event buttons (except Frame Patterns and External
Signals) to set the parameters for External Triggers.

Click the blue dot in the upper left corner of an Event button.

— Enable/Disable External Trigger Output: Allows the event to be used

for other actions such as Triggering, Filtering, or Restarting (toggles
between Enable and Disable).

— Enable External Trigger Output Only: Makes the event an output signal

only which cannot be used for other actions. To clear External Trigger
Output Only
, you must drag the elastic arrow to an Action button. (See
the section on Elastic Arrow.)

— External Trigger Form: Allows you to select low pulse, high pulse, or

toggle as the form for your External Trigger.

Output Signaling Pin Assignments

Clicking the blue dot in the upper left corner of each Events button enables one of
each of the following events to appear as an output signal on its corresponding
output pin on the External Interface Breakout Board.
