10. Number of pulses per train (see Section 8).
Set the number of pulses per train of channel #3 to be 5.
Press keys : 'M, 3, 5, ENTER, 0, ENTER' .
Trigger channel #3 manually again by pressing '3'.
Note: You can use a single channel in order to obtain the whole train.
11. Connect channel #1 to trigger #3 (see Section 9).
Press keys: 'CONNECT, 1, 3, ENTER' .
Channel #1 will now trigger both channels #2 & #3.

This arrow indicates the direction of the connection.
Now, assume that you programmed all the 8 channels to run in a specific
pattern - your present experiment (paradigm), and now you want to switch to a
new pattern that also uses all the 8 channels. With Master-8 this is an easy
process, but you are first required to set the other paradigm.
12. Press key: 'ALL' (see Section 10) -
The name of the present paradigm (now '1') is displayed.
To switch to paradigm #5,
Press keys: '5, ENTER'.
Note:
Since this is a new paradigm all the channels are off, all the internal connec-
tions are disconnected and all the time parameters have their default values.
13. Set all the 8 channels to the FREE-RUN mode (see Section 7)
Press keys: 'FREE, 1, ENTER', 'FREE, 2, ENTER', etc.
Each of the 8 channels now runs continuously at its own rate, independently
of the other channels.
14. Now you can switch back to the previous paradigm by recalling it.
Press keys: 'ALL, 1, ENTER' and you obtain the previous paradigm.
Press keys: 'ALL, 5, ENTER' and you obtain the other one. (All the channels
are now working in synchronization since you started them together).
15. Turn the power off.
Note:
Master-8 stores all the 8 paradigms even when the power is turned off.
