Operation
Model 2090 Multi-Device Controller
USING AUXILIARY CONTROL FUNCTIONS
The four auxiliary control ports on the rear panel of the
Model 2090 allow the connection of additional devices (for
example: Remote Air Polarized Tripods, LISNs, EUTs,
etc.) to the controller. The auxiliary control outputs provide
four non-interrelated fiber optic ON/OFF signals that can
either respond to GPIB commands when in the remote
mode, or can be toggled ON and OFF from the front panel
while in the manual mode.
NOTE: The auxiliary controls can be used for custom
applications requiring a simple ON/OFF signal by using
readily available TTL output fiber optic receivers.
While in manual mode, auxiliary devices may be toggled
ON and OFF by pressing the
AUX CONTROL
key on the
front panel of the controller that corresponds to the desired
auxiliary device port. Both the keys and the ports are
numbered one through four. When the indicator above the
device key is lit, the auxiliary device output is turned ON.
When the indicator above the device key is not lit, the
auxiliary device output is turned OFF. While in remote
mode, auxiliary devices can be turned ON and OFF by
using the appropriate GPIB command (see “Remote
Operations”). The auxiliary devices can be controlled
using the GPIB address of either primary device.
