Connecting the analog interface
The 15-pole connector (Type: Sub-D, D-Sub) on the rear side is an analog interface. To connect this to a con

trolling hardware (PC, electronic circuit), a standard plug is necessary (not included in the scope of delivery). It’s
generally advisable to switch the device completely off before connecting or disconnecting this connector, but at
least the DC output.

Connecting the Share bus
The “Share BUS” connectors on the rear side (2x BNC type) can be used to connect to the Share bus of further
units of series PSI 10000 4U. The main purpose of the Share bus is to balance the voltage of multiple units in par-
allel operation, especially when using the integrated function generator of the master unit. For further information
about parallel operation refer to section
“3.11.1. Parallel operation in master-slave (MS)“
.
For the connection of the share bus the following must be paid attention to:

in current operating systems such as Windows 7 or 10. But it’s strongly recommended to use the included driver
installer (on USB stick) to gain maximum compatibility to our softwares.
