142 142  * 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)
143 143  * 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 !!!**
