Description

Event 1

Event1 is multiplexed with COM4 transmit.

Event 2

Event2 is multiplexed with CAN2 transmit and power LED.

Trimble recommends adding a Schmitt trigger and ESD protection to the Event_In pin. This prevents any "ringing" on the input from causing multiple and incorrect events to be recognized.
