Instructions for Control of Amplifiers through
the CMC
If your CMC has a "Gen. Out 7-12" Interface:
If your amplifier is connected to this interface it will be automatically identified
and offered as an option by the control software used, since communication is
possible over this interface. (Supported by CMC for DOS since version 2.70.)
This interface is standard on all CMC 156 test devices and can be added to
CMC 56 test devices from serial number DAxxxx. See "Ordering Information"
page 45.
If your CMC has a "Gen. Out 1-6" interface:
There is no communication between the CMC and the amplifier, so the
amplifier must be defined by an AMP-file.
If you use a CMC for DOS software version < 2.7:
There is no communication between the CMC and the amplifier, so the
amplifier must be defined by an AMP-file.
Significance of the sliding switches:
In the case of the amplifiers being controlled from the CMC for DOS software,
the sliding switches indicate whether the current (Position II) or the voltage
system (Position I) is to be amplified.
In the case of control by a CM Engine based software (all OMICRON Windows
programs are based on CM Engine) the setting of these sliding switches is
ignored.
