This Bachelor thesis is a pre-study of the possibilities of using programmable logic in the purpose to enable fast trigger based data communication. Triggerbased data communication is in this case referred to a context where the processed data is stored and examined so when the trig situation appears the data should be able read out to a computer for evaluating. The purpose of this thesis is to find difficult and time consuming elements but also to find elements that is well suited for implementation in programmable logic. The work should also support further development and verification of trig functionalities and additional hardware. This with the intent of constructing an Ethernet based oscilloscope. The result of this thesis is a conclusion that programmable logic is well suited for many of the implemented logic function
