8		-The MTCA based triggers have a jitter in the few ps range, the delay can be shifted in 9 ns steps, One can choose between 10 Hz triggers, Triggers connected to the (fast) FEL shutters,  frequencies locked to the pulses (e.g. 1MHz) and the actual bunch patterns.

	14	+** + 3 V to + 4.5V  for high (actual trigger)  and  0V for low (baseline) at 50 Ohm
	15	+** + 6 V to + 9V  for high  and  0V for low at 1 MOhm
	16	+** the different trigger levels come from different hardware versions of the trigger hardware ... (4.5 V new, 3 V old)
	17	+** one can also invert the signal in the expert panel ( thus the base line is + (3-5) V and the actual trigger signal is  0V)
14	14	* The trigger are send to the MTCA several ms before the first FEL pulse (3.1 ms for the "standard" trigger, 21.5 ms for the "early" trigger).
15	15	* The timer card can delay the trigger in 9 ns  steps for more than 100 ms (an option to shift the trigger in 1 ns steps is available in the expert panel)
16	16	* The shown delay in µs is in respect to the //first// FEL pulse. negative delay: trigger comes before FEL, positive : trigger comes after the FEL.

	311	+=== Fast shutter inhibit signal ===
	312	+
	313	+It is possible to have the fast shutter inhibit signal (the signal coming from the fast shutter to the inhibit boxes connected to the X2 cards) directly available for users. For this one can select the output source as 2nd channel:

	319	+=== Inverse fast shutter trigger ===
	320	+
	321	+If one wants to have an inverse fast shutter trigger (10 Hz signal that comes only if the fast shutter is** CLOSED**) one can use a T and a small Lemo cable to double the input from the fast shutter  to another input at the inhibit box.
	322	+
	323	+In the FL2 case input1 is the regular fast shutter channel and input2 is usually not used. for this additional input one can set the input configuration to **inverse:**
