Trigger/gate input
A trigger/gate input is provided on the front panel of the M8195A and the M8197A. The trigger input is used to start/gate waveform
playback.
– The trigger/gate input of the M8195A affects the channels of that M8195A.
– The trigger/gate input of the M8197A affects all channels of all M8195A that are combined in a multi-module system. To achieve
best delay accuracy between trigger/gate input and the OUT signals, use the trigger/gate input of the M8197A. See timing
characteristics below.

Event input
An event input is provided on the front panel of the M8195A and the M8197A. It is used in conjunction with the sequencer to advance
to the next waveform segment or sequence.
– The event input of the M8195A affects the channels of that M8195A.
– The event input of the M8197A affects all channels of all M8195A that are combined in a multi-module system.
