instrument supports trigger input and trigger output. Insert the
Digital I/O interface connecting terminal into the Digital I/O interface
at the rear panel of the instrument; at this point, the instrument
provides 4 trigger input and output channels.
Trigger input: the data cable of the Digital I/O interface can receive
external trigger signals; the source under control (namely the output
channel) will turn on/off the output or invert the output status when
the preset trigger condition is met.
Trigger output: the data cable of the Digital I/O interface outputs
level or square signal when the output of the control source (namely
Monitor: monitor the output status of the instrument. The instrument
will execute the corresponding operation according to the current
setting when the user-defined monitor condition is met.
Analyzer: analyze the files recorded and provide the analysis results
of the channel voltage, current and power (include various statistic
to control the instrument remotely.
RS232: connect the instrument to the PC using a RS232 cable via the
RS232 interface at the rear panel of the instrument (namely the
instrument can communicate with the PC via the RS232 interface).
LAN: connect the instrument to the PC or the local network of the PC
using a network cable via the LAN interface at the rear panel of the
instrument (namely the instrument can communicate with the PC via
