4.5.8.1 Digital Input and trigger input There are two digital inputs (Pin 8,9), support debouncer features. The debouncer feature identifies the valid and invalid input signals via setting the debouncer value (the minimum period of time for the valid signal). In this way, the circuit will only respond to the signal that the pulse width is greater than debouncer value trigger in: default setting debouncer 50 us.
4.5.9 Trigger delay (Pin 16) The Trigger delay allows user to add a delay between the receipt of a hardware trig- ger signal and the moment the trigger becomes active.
