Trigger Bus (TRIG [0..7])

Trigger Bus (TRIG [0..7]) is an 8- bit digital bus connected
from slot 1 to slot 6 to synchronize different USB modules.
This trigger bus enables the USB modules of passing trigger
signals to one another.

To have one of the modules to control the operation of the
other modules, set the particular module as MASTER and
the rest as SLAVE (refer to

Simultaneous Synchronization (SSI)

for more details). The control signal is sent from the
MASTER module to the SLAVE modules through this trigger
bus. See following figure for the bus architecture.

In addition, the trigger bus can also be used to carry out the
pre- configuration of the chassis and modules before any
triggering activities. Refer to

Identifying Modules Location

for
