Does the breakpoint/trigger terminal block of my umi-7764 must be connected ?

[Sébastien]

I would like to know if the breakpoint/trigger terminal block of my umi-7764 is optional or must be connect ?

Thank !

Sébastien,

you can use the breakpoint outputs to generate pulses at positions you specify to trigger external equipment. The trigger inputs can be used for capturing the current position of your axes when an external trigger event occurrs.

So the answer to your question is: These terminals are optional.
