-The S800 trigger provides a vetoed 10 MHz clock signal (derived from the 40 MHz FPGA clock) used for time stamping. An external clock can also be used, after selecting the appropriate check box in the [[Trigger#Trigger Schematic|GUI]]). The clock is inhibited by a "Go" signal controlled by the trigger module. While "Go" is false, all time stamp counters can be reset via CAMAC command, typically during the begin sequences of the controllers or data acquisitions (see section "[[Trigger#Begin sequence|Begin sequence]]"). The clock signal is released when the "Go" signal is set to true at the end of the begin sequence. This simple scheme insures that all time stamp counters are synchronized. +The S800 trigger provides a vetoed 10 MHz clock signal (derived from the 40 MHz FPGA clock) used for time stamping.

 The time stamping clock is available as an output that can be distributed to other time stamp modules, such as the one located in the S800 VME crate, or in other data acquisition systems coupled to the S800.  The time stamping clock is available as an output that can be distributed to other time stamp modules, such as the one located in the S800 VME crate, or in other data acquisition systems coupled to the S800.
