External I/O 4-4-2. External trigger output If making measurements in the trigger (analog, external, manual, complex, CAN), it is possible to output trigger signals to external equipment.

Page 132
External I/O Output timing(analog / external / manual / complex trigger) The trigger output timing differs depending on the sampling frequency. If the frequency is less than 100 Hz, the trigger signal is output the next time the sampling clock falls. If the frequency is 100 Hz or more, a check is performed to see if the trigger condition has been satisfied four times in a row, and the trigger signal is then output the next time the sampling clock falls.

External I/O Output timing(time synchronization function) When time is synchronized by GPS at point zero (manual), point zero (manual n. of data), or interval (GPS sync), the trigger signal is output at the same time as the falling edge of the sampling clock at the start of recording.
External I/O 4-4-3. External clock input A pulse signal supplied from an oscillator or other external equipment can be used as a sampling clock. This makes it possible to record data for which clock synchronization has been achieved with another data logger or other external equipment. Input an external clock signal to pin 4 (CLK IN) and pin 7 (DCOM) of the external I/O connector.
Page 140
External I/O For the input clock signal, use a square wave that has a duty ratio of 0.5 ±0.2 (50 ±20%). 1s(1Hz) ~ 10μs(100kHz) 2.4~5.0V τ τ Duty ratio = The usable external clock frequency range is 1 to 100,000 Hz. In addition, the range can be set in 1-Hz increments.
External I/O 4-4-4. External clock output Output a clock signal synchronized with the set sampling frequency to external equipment. By supplying this clock to other data loggers, high-speed cameras, etc., the data for which clock synchronization has been achieved with the equipment can be recorded. In addition, the sampling frequency can be divided for output.
Page 142
External I/O NOTE If the division ratio is an odd number greater than or equal to 3, the duty ratio of the output CLK OUT signal will not be 0.5 (50%). The duty ratio differs depending on the division ratio. When the division ratio is 3, the duty ratio is the maximum value of 0.66(66%).
Page 143
External I/O NOTE ● Depending on the division ratio and inversion settings, there may be a clock output rising edge before the sampling clock signal falls for the first time. ● If the clock output mode is set to "Output during recording" and trigger recording is being used to perform recording, the clock is output while the external trigger output is at the low level.
