As an output, the SSI_START_OP signal reflects the operation start signal in 
a pre-trigger or middle-trigger acquisition sequence. Please refer to Fig 4.2 - 
Fig 4.5 for the relationship between the operation start signal and the acqui-
sition sequence. 
As an input, the PCI-9820 accepts the SSI_START_OP signal to be the op-
eration start signal in a pre-trigger or middle-trigger acquisition sequence. 
The signal is configured in the rising edge-detection mode. Fig 4.16 and Fig 
4.17 show the SSI_START_OP signal input and output timing requirements. 
For enabling output operations, users can use the function SSI_SourceConn() 
to output the SSI_TRIG2 and SSI_START_OP signals. 
For the input operations, users can select TRSRC_SSI_2 to set SSI_TRIG2 
and SSI_START_OP as the source of the trigger event and operation start 
signal.

Comparing the different trigger sources from SSI
When selecting TRSRC_SSI_1 as the trigger source input, the signal 
SSI_TRIG1 reflects the trigger event signal in an acquisition sequence. 
However, when synchronizing multiple PCI-9820 devices, each PCI-9820
