Setting Up Triggers and Running Measurements
4. In the E-mail Setup dialog, enter the name of the SMTP (see page 76) mail
server (if you don't know this, contact your System Administrator), the
recipient's e-mail address (use spaces to separate multiple addresses), and
the text of the message.
If you want e-mail to be sent on each trigger of a repetitive run, select the
Send e-mail on repetitive run check box.
5. Select the OK button.
Note that the e-mail is sent when the trigger occurs and not after the
logic analyzer's acquisition memory is full.
You only need to specify one send e-mail action per trigger sequence.
As long as one trigger action sends e-mail, any trigger in the sequence
will result in e-mail being sent. (You cannot specify different send e-
mail setups in a trigger sequence.)
If the SMTP server has a problem with the default sender address
• You may need to specify a sender address that is recognizable by the
server. A possible address might be the one specified in the To: field.
Message Format
The automatically generated text is shown as follows:
Example: system14 : Slot C : Analyzer C has triggered
Where system14 is the analysis system IP address or alias you have
assigned to it; Slot C is the frame slot the module is in; Analyzer C
identifies the specific analyzer module from others when configured in
a multi-module frame configuration.
Any text you add in the text entry area of the e-mail setup dialog will
appear after the automatically generated text.
What is SMTP? SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is a TCP/IP
protocol used in sending and receiving e-mail. A protocol is the special
set of rules for communicating the end points in a telecommunication
connection as they send signals back and forth.
Protocols exist at several levels in a telecommunication connection.
There are hardware telephone protocols. There are protocols between
the end points in communicating programs within the same computer
or at different locations. Both end points must recognize and observe
