Channels Compare Trigger List: Sets/Displays the four channel tests settings. Compare Triggers are only available on Master board channels. The last channel for the GX5961 Master is channel 15, the last channel for GX5964 Master is channel 31.
Expect Data edit box: Sets/Displays the channel test expect value. Each bit corresponds to a channel, Bit 0 of the expected value maps to the lowest channel of this sequencer and the last bit maps to the highest channel. E.g. Bit 0 - Channel 0 expect, Bit 15 Channel 15 for GX5961 or Bit 31 - Channel 31 for GX5961.
A one represents a valid high test and a zero represent a valid low test.
The expect value is compared to the response high of the input channel.
Valid Range: 0-0xFFFFFFFF for the GX5964 or 0-0xFFFF for the GX5961.
Relevant API functions: GtDio6xSequencerSetChannelsCompareTrigger.
Mask edit box: Sets/Displays the channel test mask value. Each bit corresponds to a channel, Bit 0 of the mask value maps to the lowest channel of this sequencer and the last bit maps to the highest channel.
E.g. Bit 0 - Channel 0 mask, Bit 15 Channel 15 for GX5961 or Bit 31 - Channel 31 for GX5961.
A one disable (masks) the comparison to the expect value and a zero enables the comparison.
