PC KEYBOARD CONNECTOR
A n IBM PC or XT compatible keyboard may be at-
tached to the keyboard connector. An AT key-
board may be used if it can be switched to PC or
8088 mode. Typing at the attached keyboard is
the same as entering numbers and letters from the
front panel keypad. Highlighted parameter entry
fields will accept characters from the keyboard.
Typing 'E' or 'e' is the same as [EXP]. In general,
the keyboard is only useful for alphabetic fields
such as file names.
BNC CONNECTORS
INHIBIT INPUT
If the INHIBIT input is TTL high when a trigger is
received, then that record of data is ignored and
not accumulated. The record will count towards
the number of records per scan.
SUBTRACT INPUT
When the accumulate mode is set to EXTERNAL,
records which are triggered when the SUBTRACT
INPUT is TTL high are subtracted from the accu-
mulation. This input is sampled at the trigger to de-
termine what to do with the ensuing data record.
TOGGLE OUT
The TOGGLE OUT is a TTL signal which indicates
what the accumulation mode of the next record will
be. This output is only used if the accumulation
mode is set to TOGGLE. TOGGLE switches at the
end of the SYNC/BUSY time to reflect the accu-
mulation mode of the next trigger. If TOGGLE is
high, then the next record will be subtracted. The
state of TOGGLE at the time of the trigger deter-
mines the accumulation mode of the data record.
TEST
TEST is a 50 Ω, NIM level output. The output fre-
quency is 50 MHz and is synchronous with the
BIN CLK. The TEST signal is used to test the
counter and accumulator by putting a known num-
ber of counts into each bin. See the Test and
Troubleshooting section for further information.
AUX 1 and AUX 2
The AUX outputs are general purpose program-
mable dc analog outputs. The output voltages may
be set from the LEVELS menu. The output range
is -10V to +10V and the maximum current output
is 10 mA.
