Press the CONFIG button to return to StopShot's main screen. Use the UP or DOWN button to
adjust the "Delay 1" time to "500.0 ms". This setting on the main screen may need to be adjusted for
your specific camera model. The main screen delay is how long the shutter button won't be pressed in
between bulb exposures. Most cameras are quite happy with 500ms but it may need to be longer. The
main screen should now look like the following:

3.4.4 Trigger 2: XBS A&B
StopShot's "Trigger 2" output is connected via an RCA cable to the HSS "Trigger In" connector.
"Trigger 2" will be responsible for controlling the HSS. This setup example uses "XBS A&B"
Cross-beam sensor mode in order to get pin point triggering. However, any of the other trigger
modes can be used.
To change "Trigger 2" to cross-beam mode, press SELECT on the main StopShot screen until the
">" is next to "Delay 2". Press the CONFIG button. This will bring up the Timer Configuration
screen. Press the UP/DOWN buttons until the "T Mode" is changed to "XBS A&B".

# Pulse: 1
Pulse1: 500.0 ms

The HSS supports long shutter exposures as well as traditional high speed exposures. The
length of exposure is determined by the "Pulse1" setting in StopShot. Any "Pulse1" setting
shorter than the shutter's actual opening time (See section 5 - Specifications) will cause the
shutter to immediately close after opening (suitable for most applications). To adjust the
"Pulse1" setting, press the SELECT button until the ">" indicator is next to "Pulse1". Use the UP
or DOWN button to adjust it as necessary. The recommended setting is "1.0 ms".

Press the CONFIG button to return to the main StopShot screen. Using the UP or DOWN
