Event Slice
The Event Slice DataMode stores a set of master channels and a set of slave channels in the output data file. The set of master channels provides a sequence of events, which are defined as state changes for any master channel. For each event, the system stores data samples for all master and slave channels in the output data file.

Generic parameters
- Name: Each DataMode must have a unique name and contain valid characters (invalid characters are single and double quotes, '\', '@', '#', '&', '<', '>').
- Description: Optional detailed description of the DataMode.
- Trigger mode: Select one of four available triggering options. Use triggering to eliminate undesired segments of the input data stream before it is processed by the DataMode.
- Always on: Do not use triggering. Data sampling is always on from the start of the test.
- Trigger: Data sampling starts when the trigger channel becomes TRUE and runs until the end of the data stream.
- Gate: Data sampling occurs if and only if the trigger channel is TRUE.
- One shot: Take a single data sample when the trigger channel transitions from FALSE to TRUE or if the trigger channel is TRUE on the first sample of any run.
- Trigger channel: Specify the trigger input when using a trigger option other than Always on. The trigger channel must have the same sample rate as the input channels.
- Channel select: From the channels list, select the desired input channels for the DataMode and click the appropriate arrow. Alternatively, drag and drop the desired channels to the appropriate list.
NOTE
The Event Slice DataMode provides a channel select tab for both Master channels and Slave channels.
- Store initial values: Select to always store the initial channel values at the start of each test run.
