 Since more than one trigger source can be selected, it is possible that more than one pulse is generated at the output of the trigger box, depending on the timing and shape of the source signals. When both downscaled singles and coincidences are selected for instance, the "Raw trigger" output of the trigger box may generate two pulses for a single event. A scaler connected to the "Raw trigger" output will therefore not reflect the true number of events. For this reason scalers are also connected to individual inputs of the trigger box (for more details, check the section [[Trigger#Scalers and dead time|Scalers and dead time]]). A trigger register word (bit pattern) is written at each occurrence of a live trigger signal. This word is the first being read out from the trigger module, prior to the time stamp ([[check trigger packet tag 0x2367 in the DAQ section for more information]]).  Since more than one trigger source can be selected, it is possible that more than one pulse is generated at the output of the trigger box, depending on the timing and shape of the source signals.
