Electrical interface - strobe and trigger

An input for external triggering of the camera is available at the I/O connector.
Also a trigger output signal from the camera to control an external flash light is available at this
connector. The input and output are fully programmable. For reference see paragraph 7.5.
The input and output are galvanic isolated from the internal camera electronics by means of an
optocoupler.
