compatible signal levels. A "high" level on the BNC or trigger line selects
frequency1, a "low" level selects frequency2.
Frequency-Shift
Once the control signal to shift the frequency is received, there is a delay of
20 reference oscillator clock cycles before the frequency is active. This
Delay
delay occurs with all reference oscillator sources.

writing a logic '1' to a trigger line sets the line to an electrically low level.
Lines
This would select FSK frequency2. Writing a logic '0' to a trigger line sets
the line to an electrically high level which selects frequency1. Refer to your
Command Module manual for more information on setting up and enabling
the TTLTrg trigger lines.
