Abstract
A method and apparatus for detecting an event and sampling first value from a pin in response to the event. For example, the event is identified by a signal object of a plurality of signal objects stored in a memory. Each signal object of the plurality of signal objects identifies a single analog input pin and a trigger.
Claims20

- the first signal object is one of a plurality of signal objects, and
- each signal object respectively identifies one and only one signal;
- and
- sampling a first value from a first pin in response to the first event.
