The rear panel of any
NX Series
Tester is designed to support the following features
:
•
Serial Ports – Two serial ports are supplied as a standard feature on every NX Series Tester. Serial
ports are used to connect to a Remote Display, Label or Receipt Printer, or Bar Code Scanner. Two
additional serial ports and a network interface are available with the optional Communications Board,
part number 5-4011.
•
Power Supply Receptacle – this accepts the DC connection from the Power Supply.
•
Control Port Interface – Connects to the Control Port Module. The Control Port Module provides one
set of contacts for output and one for input. This provides a mechanism to control an external device
such as a fixture clamp, or to receive input from an external device. For more detailed information
regarding the use of the Control Port Module, please refer to the NX Application Note entitled
Interfacing to External Device
s.
•
Extended Button Interface –
In some cases, the test operator may not be able to easily reach the
control buttons on the front panel of the NX Tester. To solve this problem, the NX Tester can be
equipped with an Extended Button Pad - this provides the operator with complete control of the NX
Tester from a distance. The Extended Button Pad plugs into the Extended Button Interface.
•
USB Port – The USB port is available to connect to a PC. A PC connection is used to support NX
View software, to upgrade the NX Tester’s firmware, or to download test programs from the PC.
Note: the USB port is a standard feature in NX Testers manufactured in 2011 and later. Older NX
Testers are not equipped with a USB port.
