7.4.1  Analog Output Channels 

 

The MCT has three analog output channels providing both milliamps and voltage 
signals. These channels may be designated to the constituent using an RS 232 
command. The default designations are as follows: 

 

Single Constituent Mode 

 

 Format  Constituent 

    

 

 

 

Analog 1  

Isolated 

 

 

 

 

Analog 

Isolated  1    

 
 

Dual Constituent Mode 

 

 Format  Constituent 

    

 

 

 

Analog 1 

Isolated 

 

 

Analog 2 

Isolated 

 

 

Analog 3 

Isolated 

 

Selectable for 1 or 2 

 
 

Triple Constituent Mode 

 

 Format  Constituent 

    

 

 

 

Analog 1 

Isolated 

 

 

Analog 2
