External Intervalometer - Dynamic Perception MX3 User Manual

You must always run the Init I/O action after changing the I/O port settings.

9.4.2. External Intervalometer

You may want to use the signal from another device to trigger the MX3, for example if you have
multiple rigs running and want one central device to automate them. In this case, you will need
to make sure that you have an isolated control signal for each MX3 - this can be achieved by
feeding any intervalometer device into a Dynamic Perception MUX-4 Camera Splitter.
Once you've connected the control device to the MX3, you'll need to set the correct I/O port to
'Ext. Int.' to indicate it is now being listened to as an external intervalometer.

control from multiple different signals, but this may result in unexpected behavior of
the external devices are not synchronized.
