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 10-14. The connector pinout is shown in Figure 10-2.

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 model (front panel operation).” The
input requires a falling-edge, TTL compatible pulse with the specifications shown in
Figure 10-3.
