FAQ

Q1: What type of signal does the TRIGGER1-B cable carry?
It transmits TTL/CMOS-compatible 5 V trigger signals with low-to-high transitions at the trigger event.

Q2: Can it be used with third-party devices?
Yes. It is fully compatible with external excitation hardware such as lasers and timing-controlled devices.

Q3: Does the cable include safety interlocks?
No. The cable does not include safety interlocks, meaning connected devices may continue operating even if the spectrometer’s sample compartment is open.

Q4: What connectors are used?
The cable uses standard BNC coaxial connectors, ensuring secure and reliable signal transmission.

Q5: Which industries typically use this cable?
Research laboratories, spectroscopy facilities, and industrial automation systems requiring synchronized trigger control.
