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).
14 +* The trigger are send to the MTCA several ms before the first FEL pulse (3.1 ms for the "standard" trigger, 23 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.
17 17  * The desired delay has to be entered in the "delay to be set" field and as second step pressing the "set delay" sends the delay value to the timer card. Then the trigger delay will be changed and the "actual delay" will be updated.
