If using both Mu ltiMA X units as R EC EIVE units being triggered by any PocketW izard
Transmitter follow these steps:
1. Set both units to REC EIVE mode
2. Measure lag times of cameras as previously described and record the fastest
lag for each
3. D eterm ine w hic h c am era is fas ter an d w hic h is slow er overall
4. D e ter m in e th e d elay tim e

9. Attach the flash to the more consistent (sm allest lag time variance) cam era
10. Trigger the system from a TRANS MIT unit’s T E S T key
