Figure 3-2. The trigger input and output lines are isolated by an optical isolators. 
 

TrigIn - 

This is the trigger input signal. It requires TTL or CMOS level (at least 2.5V) to activate the trigger input. 

A series 1k removes the need to add external resistor and allows direct connection to a TTL or CMOS logic source. 
It is referenced to the 

TrigComm

 line. 

 

TrigOut - 

This is the trigger output signal. It is an open collector signal with 1k resistor in series. It will drive a 

CMOS or TTL line provided it is connected to an appropriate positive supply (from 3V to 10V). It is referenced to 
the 

TRIG_ comm

 line. 

 

+5V - 

This is a 5V supply line. It is designed to support the optional active Isothermal Block. It may also be used to 

power the 

TrigOut

 signal. When using it to power 

TrigOut

, it is recommended that a 10k be connected from 

TrigOut

 to it as in Figure 3-3. This supply may vary between 4.7V to 5.7V, and its usage should be limited to no 

more than 10mA. This supply is isolated from the rest of the signals in the DB-78 connector. This signal is 
referenced to the 

PowerComm

 line. 

 

PowerComm - 

This is the return line for the

 +5V 

supply. Since 

TrigComm

 and 

PowerComm

 are isolated from 

each other, they must be connected as in Figure 3-3 if the 

+5V 

is used to power

 TrigComm

. This supply return is 

isolated from the rest of the signals in the DB-78 connector. 

 

Figure 3-3. Trigger out may use the +5V supply provided for generating logic output. 
 

3.5 Starting the Control Panel 

After installing the software, you can verify the installation and gain familiarity with the Scanner by exercising its 
measurement functions using the Windows based Control Panel. To run the control panel, double click the 
‘SMX4032.EXE’ icon. If you do not hear the relays click, you may have an installation error. 
 
The Control Panel is operated with a mouse. All functions are accessed using the left mouse button. 
 

Note:  The SMX4000 front panel powers up in Disabled mode, with all relays open.
