d. Configure the following AUX Output Trigger parameters as required:
• AUX Output Delay;
• AUX Output Width.
e. To enable trigger outputs on the AUX I/O cable’s SyncMASTER1 and
SyncMASTER2 connectors, click on the SyncMASTER: ON button.
When
SyncMASTER is enabled, the output of the SyncMASTER1 connector is
driven at the frequency specified by the

9.6 Configure a Dual-Trigger DIF Acquisition
The operation of a PI-MAX4 in DIF mode is similar to the standard operation of a
PI-MAX4 with
SuperSYNCHRO Timing. This section describes the minor operational
differences that are due to the special timing modes required for DIF.
Figure 9-15 is a block diagram of the typical equipment configuration for a dual-trigger DIF
acquisition.
