Triggering
When the Sparrow Link Pulse Generator is set to Trigger Mode, the screen will lock and read “ Trigger Mode Enabled.” This feature blinds and prevents an end user from viewing or modifying the stimulation.
Always configure the stimulation parameters as desired before entering Trigger Mode. This includes:
- Cycle times
- Ramp times
- Pulse width
- Frequency
- Amplitude
Before entering Trigger mode, turn off all stimulation. If the stimulation is ON when entering Trigger mode, it will continue to cycle as set by the cycle ON and OFF times. Changes to stimulation other than Trigger ON and OFF may result in failed commands or dropped connections.
