Control Lines
The 15 pin female D-Sub connector on the rear panel provides 8 latched data lines that can be
used to control your device under test (DUT). The lines can be controlled with the Multiport
External Test Set control, or Test Set I/O commands. Refer to
and
“Setting the Control Lines with Address and Data Values” on page 5
See
for DUT control line specification.
The output voltage of the lines can be from the internal adjustable voltage source (+2 to
+5 Vdc), or an external DC power supply depending on how the connection to the control line is
configured. When using an external power supply a positive or negative voltage can be used.
Refer to
for control line pin location and
description. Refer to
“Internal Voltage Supply Configuration” on page 5
and
Supply Configuration” on page 5
for configurations.
