External control terminal
External input (p. 391)
Control measurement start and stop, printing, and
saving with external signals.
Output GO/NG calculation evaluation
results (p. 387)/
External output (p. 389)
Output a signal when the evaluation results of nu-
merical calculation are GO or NG. Also used to
signals for specified instrument states, such as
BUSY, saving data, error, and so on.
Trigger output (p. 380)/
Probe calibration signal output (p. 393)
Output a signal when a trigger event occurs. Also
used to calibrate attenuating probes before using
them.
External trigger input (p. 378)
Input external signals.
GND (common with instrument ground)
Sample synchronizing signal output
(p. 384)
Use to synchronize sampling with multiple instru-
ments.
External sampling (p. 382)
Input an external sampling signal. (Memory func-
tion and FFT function only)
