Abstract
We describe a trigger architecture developed for shower selection in t he CLUE Cherenkov telescopes. The selection is made first in each tele scope of the array looking at the low resolution images produced by fa st electronics, than requiring temporal coincidence between units. Big effort has been put to simplify the programming of trigger configurat ions to help the user to switch easily between different observational and calibration requests.
