Do you know any way to use any other input than the photocell inputs for the finish with the USSA software? Thanks for sending out the jumper overnight.

No Problem. You can also input the Finish photocell pulse using the Multichannel input. Page 55 of the S4 manual has a nice picture of all of the inputs. Use a MALE DB25 connector. Pin 14 is Channel 1 signal and Pin 12 is ground. This is the same as connecting to the "A" photocell input. The Multichannel input is designed to connect to the ALGE MC-18 input box or the OC-18 which is the optocoupled version. Make sure you test polarity with the photocell. Reverse if needed and then label the cable. Remember that all inputs are judged the same in Program 3. Adjust the delay under Df (delay finish) if needed.
