The TRIGGERS option prompts you to select trigger output connector 1 or 2. The MC-12 includes three 12V DC trigger output connectors labeled PWR (power), 1, and 2. The PWR connector cannot be configured because its trigger output connector is activated and deactivated when the MC-12 is activated and deactivated or placed into standby. The other connectors can be configured for remote or program operation.

Selecting TRIGGER 1 or TRIGGER 2 displays the corresponding TRIGGER SETUP menu, to configure the selected trigger output connector. The TRIGGER SETUP menu shown at the right is used as an example. The parameters on the left side of the TRIGGER SETUP menus are identical regardless of whether TRIGGER 1 or TRIGGER 2 is selected. The parameter settings on the right side are adjustable. The TRIGGER SETUP menu indicates factory default parameter settings for both connectors.
