Introduction

A Break Out Box connects the VT1432A or VT1433B to a set of connectors to
receive input signals.

Several types of Break Out Boxes are available. This chapter covers:

VT3240A Voltage Break Out Box

VT3241A ICP

Break Out Box

Other Break Out Boxes include the VT3242A Charge Break Out Box and the
VT3243A Microphone Break Out Box. See the documentation supplied with
those products for more information.
