Triggered output causes the digitiser to output data only when a

particular set of trigger criteria are met. This is shown diagrammatically

as data passing through a switch. In the example above, we might want
the more detailed data from Tap 0 to be recorded only when an event
registers at some other tap. To do this, the lower check-boxes of Tap 0

should be ticked:

With this configuration uploaded, Tap 2 will continue to produce output

at all times, but Tap 0 will also emit data whenever the trigger criteria
are met. The Triggering button is now shown in red to remind you that

the trigger is active.

Every checked box in this window will give rise to a data stream coming
from the digitiser, which will be displayed in Scream!'s main window

when Scream! first receives some data from it. Every stream is identified

by a 6-character code, where the first four characters identify the

digitiser, and the last two characters identify the individual stream.

Using the example above, there are three data streams, Z, N and E,

which each output data at 20 samples/s (continuously) and 200

samples/s (occasionally). The streams appear in Scream!'s main window
