I am looking for the manuals for the ST-1603me - which is long-since-discontinued. I couldn't find them in the archives section. (In particular, I am attempting to find out if they can be externally triggered.)
It is very similar to the ST-402, which is included on the archive page http://diffractionlimited.com/support/sbig-archives/ I'll see if we can find a specific manual for that model, and if so we'll post it up on the same page. Just FYI, as far as I can tell back in the day external trigger was a "special order" thing that was only supported on some OEM cameras. In the last couple of years we've implemented new low-latency trigger firmware on all modern models that have an I2C port. But that unfortunately isn't compatible with old models.
A review of our archives show that a separate manual for the ST-1603 was never issued. I have revised the archive page to indicate this.
