[A] There are two ways to do this. The first way is quick and easy, but limited. On the TIM board is a BNC plug called EVT. This will output a TTL pulse on a threshold crossing of the currently selected unit in SortClient. Obviously, this is limited because it’s only going to be for the one unit you have selected. The second way involves the Digital Out (DOUT) sub board on the DSP boards. Each DOUT can give a pulse for eight channels for two units per channel. The channel numbers it can output depend on where the DOUT is physically located. Top most slot is channels 1-8, next one down is 9-16, and so on. If you want to add DOUT boards to your MAP system, contact Plexon for a quote.
