-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.

 +==== Running in Slave mode with multilogger ====
 +The S800 DAQ can be run in Standalone mode (as described above), or in Slave mode. The later means that the S800 DAQ is controlled by an external DAQ (e.g. GRETINA). In this mode, the S800 ULM receives an external clock signal and external synchronization from the master DAQ. Running in Slave mode requires to change the script **CC0105Begin.tcl** in directory **/user/s800/converged_daq/Scripts**. In this file, there are two variables ''extsynch'' and ''extclock'' to define if the external synchronization and clock signals are enabled (=1) or disabled (=0). Make sure that you set these variables to 1 if you want to run in Slave mode.
