Changing Trigger Values

Hi Guys,
We've been recording ERPs using Presentation. New trigger codes show up ever so often. It's puzzling.
Here is one coding system we have:
1
2
100
200
9
10
Sometimes, these codes show up:
110
91
Our programmer says that, for some reason, codes are being added together or subtracted.
110=100+10
91=100-9
Does this have something to do with ActiView?

In general, use the following guidelines to solve trigger problems:
- Use the "analog" trigger display to display the trigger lines bit by bit, colored dots and bars indicate High trigger lines
- Ensure that positive logic is used (Low = no-trigger, High = trigger)
- Return all trigger lines to Low after each trigger
- Inspect the trigger lines for increasing codes. For example: 1 = only trig line one shows dot, 5 = trigger lines 1 and 3 shows dots, etc
- Ensure that for a given trigger code, all relevant bits go High and Low simultaneously (within one sample period). If not, a trigger code will be displayed as several (other) successive codes.

Hi Coen,
I found this post related to my problem that I posted yesterday.
In addition to my previous questions, can you please explain your reply to this post a little bit more?
What does positive logic mean? & what do you mean by returning trigger lines to low after each trigger? how should we do it? (can you please provide examples)
how could we ensure that for a given trigger code, all relevant bits go High and Low simultaneously?
Thank you.
Regards
Ali
