182	182	One can use now a SECOND trigger channel which is set to a regular 10 Hz trigger  and gate the clock output to create a burst with defined start point and length,
183	183
184		-\\
	184	+For the example we use the FRONT.TRG2 (BL3 Trg5) as gate pulse which defines the length of the burst (set with the trigger width) and the (rough) starting point of the burst. This trigger is only used as gate and the physical trigger output is NOT used.
185	185
186		-\\
	186	+The  second channel (here FRONT.TRG3 (BL3 Trg6) which is set to the clock frequency defines the reprate (by the FPGA clock setting) , the exact starting point of the first trigger ( by the delay ) and the width of the  MHz/kHz triggers (width).
187	187
188		-\\
	188	+**To get from the clock to the burst trigger** one has to:
189	189
	190	+* set the  "2nd source select" to the gate trigger ( here FRONT.TRG2) - this defines a second source to considder for the trigger output.
	191	+* and the "output source select" to "AND 2nd Ch."  this finally only sends a trigger if on both inputs (clock and gate) we have a high signal.

198		-* in order to generate a stable frequency one has to set the input source to FPGA clock (and use dividers to get the desired frequency)
199		-* to generate the burst patterns of the FEL one has to choose a trigger event (best 116 for FLASH 2 and 16 for FLASH1) and activate Destination 1 for FLASH1 and Destination 2 for FLASH2 . finally one has to assign the activated Bunch pattern mask to the trigger channel of choice . now the pattern can be shifted and the trigger width can be changed as with the 10 Hz triggers. **IMPORTANT: to move the bunchtrain to the desired starting point the DELAY in the expert panel (see below) has to be used. The Trigger in the user panel (see above) has to be set to 0 !!!**
200		-[[~[~[image:url:http://hasfweb.desy.de/pub/Setup/TriggerHowto/mtcatrigger2k.png~|~|alt="mtcatrigger2k.png" width="607" height="458"~]~]>>attach:mtcatrigger2k.png]]
	205	+Sometimes it is convenient to get a trigger pulse for each pulse in the FEL. thus if the FEL number of bunches or reprate are changed, the trigger adapts accordingly.
201	201
202		-here an example defining the bunch pattern for FLASH1 to mask 1
	207	+For this one has to select the source of interest in the expert overview panel (tab: "Bunch pattern") ... well for us this is FLASH1 (FL1D) or FLASH2 (FL2D)
203	203
204		-\\
	209	+There are 6 different bunch pattern "channels" one can configure. Typically only 2 are needed ... And in each one there are 6 selectors to choose sources . We only need one - it does not matter in which one is used.

211	211
	217	+**NOTE: To shift the burst in time one can no longer use the delay of the individual channel BUT the delay in the "Bunch pattern" tab in the expert overview! This now shifts all bursts ... so you better know what you are doing. typically the burst is already shifted to the actual FEL timing ... Shifting the timing should be discussed with the beamline scientist / local contact ...**
