Trigger a Channel
This function lets you simulate an input trigger on a channel, regardless of the channel’s logic
settings. This is a useful way to initiate a timing sequence without actually performing the live
experiment. You can also trigger a channel from within the timerPRO software (See Channel
Properties: Force Trigger above).
NOTE: You cannot trigger ALL channels, only individual channels.
Reset
The Reset button returns the selected channel or ALL channels to the last programmed settings. It
resets and reinitializes retriggering counters and the delays of any channels that are undergoing a
delay sweep.
Store/Recall Settings Profiles
As you know, you can store 64 different “Settings Profiles” in the Model 725. A Settings profile
includes properties, variables, and logic for each of the eight channels. Storing Settings profiles
lets you switch between settings while running an experiment, to test different timing criteria,
initial conditions, etc., without re-plugging or reprogramming.
Settings profiles are enumerated AA, AB…, BA, BB… HH, and they are accessible under those
letters from the Model 725.
To store the current settings in a Settings profiles:
1. Click the Store button
2. Click the two-letter combination for the Settings profile.
Similarly, to recall a stored Settings profile:
1. Click the Recall button
2. Click the two-letter combination for the Settings profile.
You can recover these settings even after the unit has been turned off or disconnected. The most
recently used setting is automatically loaded when the Model 725 is powered up. If you attempt to
recall an invalid setting, the power LED flashes red and the system retains its previous setting.
