Operation
4-14
When a combination of make/break and break/make rows is
selected, the Model 708A must switch through three inter-
mediate setups to ensure proper relay operation. The steps
performed by the unit are:
1. Opens crosspoints in break/make rows yielding the first
intermediate setup.
2. Closes crosspoints in make/break rows yielding the sec-
ond intermediate setup.
3. Opens crosspoints in make/break rows yielding the third
intermediate setup.
4. Closes crosspoints in break/make rows and opens/closes
crosspoints in don’t care rows yielding the desired setup.
Figure 4-15 shows an example setup change with the neces-
sary intermediate setups. As the timing diagram shows, three
additional relay settling time intervals are needed for the in-
termediate setups.
4.8.3 External trigger input
To use external triggering, first select the source as described
in paragraph 4.8.1. With triggers enabled, the unit will then
be triggered when an input pulse (with the specifications pre-
viously shown in Figure 4-8) is applied to the EXT TRIG IN-
PUT jack. The unit is triggered on either the falling (leading)
or rising (trailing) edge of the pulse, as selected by the A —
external trigger command (paragraph 5.9.2).
4.8.4 Matrix ready output
The matrix ready output provides a TTL-compatible signal,
as shown in Figure 4-9. This signal can be used to inform
other instruments when the total settling time is complete. It
is programmable for high or low true by the B — matrix
ready command (paragraph 5.9.3). The leading edge of the
true level indicates the end of the total settling time (relay
settling time plus programmed settling time).
