Analogue I/O Connector
A standard 15-way D-type socket used for interfacing with external equipment.
This may be already in use depending on the type of RGA system purchased.
This interface offers the following functionality:
Two analog outputs 0 to +10V 12bit
Four, quasi-differential analog inputs, -11 to +11V, with a maximum voltage on the return of
±
0.5V
±
15V power outputs both fused at 120mA, fuses are self resetting.
NOTE:
The 120mA maximum load for the power supply outputs is shared between the Digital and Analogue connectors.
* Analog input 1 and Analog input 1 return are reserved for use with the internal cold cathode gauge.
