About the I/O cable

(6)OUT3 (ENABLE output)

This turns ON when the Multi-Controller is ready for measurement. This output is interlocked with the ENABLE indicator.

(7)OUT4 (BUSY output)

This turns ON during sampling with the hold function enabled. It allows you to check whether or not the self-trigger is functioning correctly. It also turns ON during bank switching.

(8)Linear output

The linear output outputs a current or voltage in accordance with the measured value.

(9)Linear GND

The linear GND terminal is the 0V terminal for the linear output.

This ground wire must be grounded separately from the other ground wires.

Always ground the linear output terminal even when linear output is not used.

Signal Name

Description

External trigger (timing) input

This timing input is for signal input from external devices. Use it for hold

 

function timing.

 

 

Reset input

This resets all executing measurements and outputs. While a reset is

 

being input, judgment output conforms to the non-measurement set-

 

ting. If this reset input switches ON while the hold function is used, the

 

state in effect before the hold function was set will be restored.

 

 

Zero reset input

This is used to execute and clear a zero reset.

 

 

Bank input A, B

This is used for switching banks. Specify the bank No. in combinations

 

of A and B.
