Trigger Out

Used to specify a Trigger Out module. Trigger out is the physical Trigger output of a 268XA device. It is the Trigger Out signal out on the rear panel connector of the mainframe. If you want to set up a master/slave relationship, set a module in a 268XA device to control the Trigger Out signal and wire that signal to the Trigger In of all the salve devices. You will then need to configure a module in a slave device to take a reading when an External Trigger was received. The External Signal is the same as the physical Trigger In located on the back of the mainframe.
