Instruction Manual
Thermo Fisher Scientific
External I/O is driven from a generic bus that is capable of controlling the
following devices:
●
Analog output (voltage and current)
●
Analog input (voltage)
●
Digital output (TTL levels)
●
Digital input (TTL levels)
Note
The instrument has spare solenoid valve drivers and I/O support for
future expansion.

The instrument provides six analog voltage outputs. Each may be firmware
configured for any one of the following ranges, while maintaining a
minimum resolution of 12 bits:
●
0-100mV
●
0-1V
●
0-5V
●
0-10V
The user can calibrate each analog output zero and span point through the
firmware. At least 5% of full-scale over and under range are also supported,
but may be overridden in the firmware, if required.
The analog outputs may be assigned to any measurement or diagnostic
channel with a user-defined range in the units of the selected parameter.
The voltage outputs are independent of the current outputs.
The optional I/O expansion board includes six isolated current outputs.
These are firmware configured for any one of the following ranges, while
maintaining a minimum resolution of 11 bits:
●
0-20 mA
●
4-20 mA
The user can calibrate each analog output zero and span point through
firmware. At least 5% of full-scale over and under range are also supported,
but may be overridden in the firmware, if required.
