Remote Control Operation
For remote control functions, your external switch is concerned with
the two control input pins (4 and 11) and the ground pin (10) in the
GPIO and Remote connector. In order to start a remote capture,
your external switch must force pin 4 to GND (that is, short circuit it).
In order to stop a remote capture, your external switch must force
pin 11 to GND. Figure B-1 illustrates the external switch between
control input pin 4 and ground pin 10 closed to start a remote capture.
Figure B-1: Example of Remote Switch
Table B-5 shows the TTL settings to which your external switch must
pull the Remote input pins in order to trigger the remote capture.
