Port pinouts

AC/DC jack

The pinout for the jack used for the AC/DC signals is displayed below in Figure A-1. This 3.5 millimeter jack is the same type of jack commonly used for stereo outputs in music systems.

Figure A-1: Pinout for the AC/DC output jack

Auxiliary connector

The auxiliary connector in the base of the instrument can be used for input and output triggers (See “Triggers”) to receive GPS signals or for RS-232 serial communications. Figure A-2 shows the pinout for the auxiliary connector.
