Trigger link
Input and output triggers are received and sent via the rear panel TRIGGER LINK connec-
tor. The trigger link has four lines. At the factory, line #2 is selected for output triggers,
and line #1 is selected for input triggers. These input/output line assignments can be
changed from the CONFIGURE TRIGGER menu. (See “Configuring triggering,” page
11-8.) The connector pinout is shown in Figure 11-5.
Input trigger requirements
An input trigger is used to satisfy event detection for a trigger model layer that is config-
ured for the TRIGGER LINK event. (See “Trigger models,” page 11-30.) The input
requires a falling-edge, TTL compatible pulse with the specifications shown in Figure
11-6.
