User Lines

User Lines

The user lines connector, located on the GPIB-Minterface rear panel, provides several signals to increase your operating control of the supply. These signals are dependent on the operator's design and uses. The operation of the auxiliary status lines requires that you provide external Vcc and ground. To locate the connector, refer to Figure 2.4, Figure 2.5, Figure 2.6 and Figure 2.7. See Figure 2.13, “Schematic For User Line Interface” on page 42 and Table 2.3, “User Line Pins,” on page 40 for pin descriptions.

The user lines are optically isolated, open collector configuration. The input lines are capable of sinking 10mA (with recommended 5V at input) up to a maximum of 90mA.

XT/HPD and XPD: The connector for the user lines is a standard 8-conductor RJ45 jack. The cable is supplied by the user.

XFR or XHR: The connectors are removable “wire clamp” terminal block style connectors. Use shielded twisted pairs of 22-24 AWG wire for connections. Strip 0.2” (5mm) of insulation from the wires and clamp securely at the appropriate pin.
