Trigger

E9 cameras include a dedicated Trigger I/O. The trigger signal is used to stop the recording of a Take after the specified number of trigger offset frames. It functions the same as the Trigger button within the SLOW software, but allows for maximum precision and is recommended for applications that demand precise timing.
