How to Use the External Control

7About the External Control

The Monitor has the MAKE/TRIGGER terminal, which allows you to control the monitor by the MAKE (make contact) or TRIG. (trigger) system selected in the function setting.

MAKE (make contact) system: Controls the function by short-circuiting the corresponding pin terminal to the GND pin terminal, or disconnecting (opening) it.

TRIG. (trigger) system: Controls the function by inputting the pulse signal instantaneously to the corresponding pin terminal.

*Select “MAKE” or “TRIG.” from “REMOTE SYSTEM” in SET-UP MENU. ☞ “REMOTE SYSTEM” on page 12

NOTES:

•The external control has priority over operations using front panel buttons or menu functions of the monitor.

•When using the make contact system, you cannot use the functions which are applied to the MAKE/TRIGGER terminal operating the front panel buttons or the menu of the monitor. (When using the trigger system you can also use those functions operating the monitor directly.)
