Each pulse is started by a triggerpulse rising edge. LD current Pulse duration is determined internally
LASER START
Switch on and off the laser operation by external switch or TTL signal
DIGITAL OUTPUTS
SYNC OUT
For synchronization with the LD current pulse
Q-DELAY
Isolated output for synchronization of Pockels cell drivers
