-This window appears when the "Launch Gate Delay GUI" button is pressed on the [[#Readout GUI|Readout GUI]]. It can also be accessed by pressing the "Show GUIs" button. The delay module allows software configurable delays to be applied to each of the signals indicated in the Channel column, which then form the TDC stops. It is configurable to enable delays to be set with beam on target, as the needed delay may change depending on experimental conditions. +This window appears when the "Launch Gate Delay GUI" button is pressed on the [[#Readout GUI|Readout GUI]].

-The Trigger GUI appears when the "Init" button is pressed on the CAMAC crate controller tab as part of the initial setup of the [[s800 daq tools#run control window|S800 USB daq]]. The Trigger GUI is a visual display of the various Gate and Delay Generators and logic elements that make up the configurable trigger of the S800. The logic of the trigger decision is readily discerned from a visual inspection of this GUI. Setting the trigger configuration is also done using this GUI by right clicking on any of the wires to put that signal onto one of the four "Trigger Inspect" channels available at the patch panel of Data-U6. By inspecting the various delays, widths and overlaps the user trigger can be configured. The Trigger GUI is discussed in greater detail [[Trigger|here]].+The Trigger GUI appears when the "Launch ULM GUI" button is pressed on [[#Readout GUI]].
