Appendix B PTG Module 69
External: Each trigger applied to Ext. Trig. In BNC initiates a pulse ensemble that is
applied to PI-MAX.
Readout Cycle: Readout cycle is triggered through the ST-133 backplane if Int. Sync.
is selected on Experiment Setup Timing tab page.
Enabling: Handshakes that prevent a readout from occurring while the PTG is busy and
that prevent the PTG from pulsing the photocathode ON while a readout cycle is in
progress are performed through the backplane.
