the PCLD-8712 screw terminal board. The trigger signal is TTL-
compatible.
q Analog Threshold Trigger
For analog input operations, an analog trigger event occurs when the
PCI-1712/1712L detects a transition from above a threshold level to
below a threshold level (falling edge), or a transition from below a
threshold level to above a threshold level (rising edge). User should
connect analog signals from external device or internal analog output
channel on board to external screw terminal ANA_TRG on the PCLD-
8712 screw terminal board.
On the PCI-1712/1712L, the threshold level is set using a dedicated 8-
bit DAC; the hysteresis is fixed at 50 mV. Using software, you can
program the threshold level by writing a voltage value to this DAC;
this value can range from -10 V to +10 V.
