Group Run Arming Tree
Group Run Arming Tree
The Group Run Arming Tree is found in the Intermodule window. You
access the Intermodule window by selecting the Intermodule icon in
the Icon Bar of the System window.
Use the Group Run Arming Tree to configure Instrument tools into a
group where all run functions are referenced to an arming signal. If
Instrument tools are not included in a Group Run, they are configured
as Independent and are not tied to an arming signal. By default, all
instrument tools placed on the workspace are configured as
Independent Run.
When you select the Group Run field, the following sequence of
events occur:
1. When the run field is selected, all tools that are not directly armed from
the run field or port in signal, begin to evaluate their trigger specification.
They step through their trigger sequence until they get to the point where
they are waiting for an arm signal.
2. The first tool in the tree begins evaluating its trigger specification and
triggers when it is met. At the point of trigger, the arm signal is sent down
to the next tool in the tree.
3. From this point, all subordinate tools are ready and waiting in their
sequences for the arm signal. When the signal is received, they react
immediately with a trigger, store, or what ever remains in their trigger
sequence. As each tool triggers, the arm signal is sent down to the next
tool.
