Status Output Signal
The status output signal is available for use as an indicator of system status. A typical
application would be in an environment where operators may be a substantial distance away
from the test equipment, in a control room or other remote location, and desire confirmation
from the system that it is armed and healthy prior to testing. The table below describes this
function.
Status Output Functional Description
When the Ethernet Controller is not armed, the status output is always low (near 0 V),
regardless of signals on the event input.
The status output will be high (near 5 V) ONLY when:
1. The unit is armed, AND
2. The unit is ready to record data (is in Circular Buffer mode, or has received a start
signal in Recorder mode), AND
3. The unit has not received an event signal, AND
4. The unit
’s power status is within acceptable levels.
In Circular Buffer mode, the status output will go high as the system is armed. It will go low
when the unit receives an event signal, any A/D circuit stops functioning, or if
the system’s
power is outside of acceptable limits.
In Recorder mode, the status output will remain low until the system is actually recording data.
The status output will go high when the unit receives a start record signal and all other
diagnostic checks are within acceptable limits. It will go low when the unit receives an event
signal, the end of the recording time window is reached, any A/D circuit stops functioning, or if
the
system’s power is outside of acceptable limits.
