Totalizer Operation

Perform the procedure in Figure 2-20 to use the totalizer feature. The totalizer count can be monitored when the instrument is active or inactive. The totalizer is an internal counter that sums contact closures or voltage transitions. Connection is at the rear panel DIGITAL I/O connector, pins SUM and GROUND. A contact closure between SUM and GROUND or a voltage transition applied to SUM (referenced to GROUND), will cause the totalizer to advance by one count. The maximum count allowed is 65535 and the maximum count rate is 5 kHz. Voltages trigger on a low-to-high transition at a nominal threshold of +1.4 volts. A contact debounce feature is available when the instrument is operated through a computer interface. (See Chapter 4, "Computer Operations.")
