Gain Characteristics

Protection: Relay Trip. This disconnects the main output after either a voltage or a current overload of non-transient duration. The relay’s state can be queried and reset by software control.

These are two outputs nominally out-of-phase.

Connectors: The + (in-phase) and - (antiphase) outputs have separate ground-referenced BNC connectors.

Impedance: 50 or 75 , each side to ground

Drive Capability : ± 1V into 50 or 75
