3.18. Using External Triggers
With the system, you can record by receiving various trigger signals matched to the recording
application. The trigger signals that can be used on the system are explained here, along with a
description of how to use them.
3.18.1. Inputting an External Trigger Signal
The external trigger signals that can be used with the system and their input system are listed below.
External trigger signal input settings are also made by selecting [SYNC IN/OUT] from the menu and
[TRIG TTL IN] or [GENERAL IN] from the submenu.
The signals input from the TRIG TTL IN and GENERAL IN connectors are explained in section
"2.2.7. I/O Port Connector".
