Beni,

The drawing is attached. Note that a part in the bottom 
right corner of this diagram (with 3 coincidences
and a scaler) is optional and is usually disconnected
to reduce load on our -12V-weak VME crate. 

I'm unsure about your request for a relative timing at 
coincidence. Signals are set with a pulser to be in time 
(within a couple of ns precision of my scope). However, due
to 40cm hit position uncertainty and time-walk effects, 
relative timing between trigger paddles varies by a few 
nanoseconds on event-by-event basis.
