This section describes the configuration of a dual trigger DIF experiment.
9.5.1 Hardware
Figure 9-7 illustrates a block diagram of the equipment setup.

9.5.2 Software Setup and Operation
The operation of the PI-MAX4 in DIF mode is similar to the standard operation of a
PI-MAX4 with SuperSYNCHRO. There are only a few differences due to the special timing
modes of DIF, and they will be outlined here.
Figure 9-8 illustrates the timing diagram for a single trigger DIF experiment.
