•
Enabling "Trig Out" Port: When enabled, a pulse is output from
the "Trig Out" port after each switchbox channel is closed. If
disabled, a pulse is not output from the "Trig Out" port after channel
closures. The output pulse is a +5V negative-going pulse.
•
"Trig Out" Port Shared by Switchboxes: When enabled, the "Trig
Out" port may be pulsed by any switchbox each time a scanned
channel is closed. To disable the output for a specific switchbox,
send the
