ANUAL
Trigger In:
Start acquisition from an external unisolated CMOS compatible source.
Available through a BNC connector on the front panel. . The absolute
maximum voltage range for this input is -0.5 volts to +5.5 volts.
Do not
exceed this range or damage can result to the input circuitry.
Trigger Out:
Unisolated programmable trigger output. Available through a BNC
connector on the front panel.
Sequencer Out:
Seven isolated programmable CMOS compatible trigger outputs. The
sequencer outputs are very precise triggers that can be programmed to
toggle when a particular entry in the sequence RAM is executed.
Available through a multi-pin connector on rear panel.
