Trigger patterns

Trigger patterns: The lowest six bits of the triggerPattern word (mask value=0x3f) record the status of the raw trigger inputs. Depending on the prescale settings, a trigger input may be present even if it was not included in the event trigger for that event.

Trigger input	Bit pattern	Value
COSMIC	0x00001	1
TRIGCLK	0x00002	2
SO	0x00004	4
S1	0x00008	8
S2M	0x00010	16
CER	0x00020	32

The remainder of the bits (mask value=0xffffff40) record which prescaled coincidence trigger was actually used to form the event trigger.

Event trigger	Bit pattern	Value
S2M_NCER_SCALED	0x00040	64
S2M_CER2_SCALED	0x00080	128
S2M_CER_SCALED	0x00100	256
S1_CER_SCALED	0x00200	512
S1_S2M_SCALED	0x00400	1024
S0_CER_SCALED	0x00800	2048
S0_S2M_SCALED	0x01000	4096
S0_S1_SCALED	0x02000	8192
TRIG_VME	0x04000	16384
COSMIC_SCALED	0x08000	32768
TRIGCLK_SCALED	0x10000	65536
