Prerequisites: Setting and Dividing a Synchronization Clock
After you have set a synchronization clock for the front and/or rear zones of your chassis, you can use the synchronization clock to control when triggers fire. Using the synchronization clock terminal of niSync Connect Trigger Terminals, you can set a trigger to fire on an update edge of the full-speed or a divided synchronization clock.
You can also fire a trigger asynchronously using this terminal, though a trigger synchronized to a time reference is generally more accurate than an asynchronous trigger. Using a synchronization clock to coordinate trigger firing is ideal for situations where you are trying to synchronize different signals coming through the front and back zones of your chassis.
Complete the following steps to synchronize a trigger with a divided or full-speed clock:

Note You can also set the synchronization clock terminal to the following values:

After completing the preceding steps, the trigger fires on an update edge of the full-speed or divided synchronization clock.
