New features

 It is possible to control turntables directly from PC, with ET Commander software
 It is possible to drive two turntables with one ET1.1. The second turntable is slave and spin in opposite sense

respect Master turntable.

Front panel

COMPUTER PARALLEL PORT: connector for link to PC parallel port with supplied cable. It is used with ET

Commander software. See “Control protocol” to use a customised software.

TURNTABLE (REVERSE SLAVE): connector for second turntable, which must be always used contemporary with

Master turntable (connector on rear panel). Slave turntable spin always in
opposite sense respect master turntable and is passive (don't is possible
control directly slave turntable without master turntable).

RESET: push-button to restore zero degrees position (measurement starting position).

It can be used to avoid cables twisting as well.

ZERO: when LED is lighting the turntable is at zero degrees position (0°).

AUTO: twin LED indicator turntable rotation direction both in automatic or manual

mode.

DEG STEP: angular increments control switch (min 5 deg - max 45 deg). Used only in

automatic control from PC measurement cards. (COMPUTER connector on
rear panel).

MANUAL: manual rotation direction control. Pushing the manual buttons the turntable will

move only in a linear mode. Therefore will not step by a fixed number of
degrees, so you must see the turntable and release the buttons at desired
degrees rotation.

TTL OUTPUT DELAY ADJ: screwdriver adjustment for TTL pulse output delay using MLSSA

measurement system only. This delay adjustment, from 3 to 25 seconds,
occur between two measurement taken from MLSSA to achieve the desired
time measurement condition.(i.e. you can adjust the delay to obtain rotational
speed of 1 sec. 1 degree - Heyser).

Rear panel

VCC IN 12/20 V: system power supply XLR connection from 12 to 20 Vcc with on LED

indicator.

TURNTABLE: connection link from control unit ET1.1 to main ST2 turntable (MASTER).

COMPUTER: connector for link to measurement cards (LMS, MLSSA, CLIO, TEF).

Hardware applications

- ET Commander –

the turntable is directly controlled by Personal Computer. It is supplied the link cable with DB25
connector (for PC parallel port) and DB9 ones. If you use two turntables and two ET1.1, you can order the apposite
adapter to Outline.

- LMS System -

the turntable is driven by TTL pulse on LMS PC CARD connector DB25 (see operating manual
version 3.05 pages 1-8 ). Connection wiring and DB9 adapter are included with the turntable. Connection wiring are
included, also from turntable ST2 to electronic control ET1.1, with 10 Mt multipolar wire.

Interconnections diagram:

LMS PC CARD ---> DB9 adapter ---> DB9 extension cable ---> ET1.1 (Computer - Measurement cards port)

TURNTABLE ---> 10 mt multipolar wire ---> ET1.1 (Turntable)

- MLSSA System -

the turntable is driven by TTL pulse on MLSSA PC CARD connector DB9. Connection wiring
are included with the turntable. Connection wiring are included, also from turntable ST2 to electronic control ET1.1,
with 10 mt multipolar wire

Interconnections diagram:

MLSSA PC CARD -------> DB9 extension cable -------> ET1.1 (Computer - Measurement cards port)

TURNTABLE -------> 10 mt multipolar wire -------> ET1.1 (Turntable)

- CLIO System -

the turntable is driven by a TTL pulse generated by the CLIO software directly on the standard
parallel port. The DB9 adapter cable supplied (with a DB9 female connector) has to be soldered to a DB25 male
connector. As described in CLIO’s Users Manual (Section 7.4.4), the start signal (DB9 pin 2) has to be connected
to pin 9 and ground (DB9 pin 4) to pin 22 (or one among pin 18 to 25).

TURNTABLE -------> 10 mt multipolar wire -------> ET1.1 (Turntable)

- TEF System -

the turntable is driven by a TTL pulse on the "External Trigger" connector. The DB9 adapter cable
supplied (with a DB9 female connector) has to be soldered to a Switchcraft #60PC4F connector. As described in
TEF User’s Manual, the start signal (DB9 pin 2) has to be connected to pin 2, the return pulse (DB9 pin 5) to pin 4
and ground (DB9 pin 4) to pin 1.
