External Control
7 About the external control
This monitor has two external control terminals.
• MAKE/TRIGGER terminal (RJ-45): The following external control systems are available.
(1) MAKE (make contact) system: Controls the monitor by short-circuiting the corresponding pin terminal to
the GND pin terminal, or disconnecting (opening) it (☞ below).
(2) TRIGGER (trigger) system: Controls the monitor by sending the pulse signal instantaneously to the
corresponding pin terminal (☞ below).
• RS-232C terminal (D-sub 9-pin): Controls the monitor with the RS-232C system. (☞ page 17)
• Control priority is as follows.
MAKE > TRIGGER, RS-232C, buttons and menu on the monitor
• You can use the external control even when "CONTROL LOCK" is set to "ON" (☞ page 15).
• When the monitor is off (on standby), external control is not available.
7 Using the MAKE/TRIGGER system
You can control the monitor by a personal computer or dedicated controller*
1
* The controller is not commercially available. Consult your dealer if you need it.
The MAKE/TRIGGER terminal is configured as follows. You can assign a function to each pin terminal in
"REMOTE SETTING" (☞ "PIN1, PIN2, PIN3, PIN4, PIN5" on page 15).

* The 6th pin terminal controls turning on or off the tally lamp (available to control even when the 7th pin terminal is
invalid.)
* 3 The 7th pin terminal makes the external control valid/invalid. Make sure to control the terminal by the MAKE system.
• You cannot change the functions assigned to the pin terminals from 6th to 8th.
• When "FORMAT INDICATOR" in "FUNCTION SETTING" is set to "ON," the TALLY lamp cannot be controlled
by the external control (☞ page 14)
• You cannot assign the same function to different pin terminals.
• The TRIGGER system switches each function by short-circuiting the pin terminal for about 1 second and
opening it.
To assign the functions to the pin terminals
For the operation procedure, see page 7.
1
Select "REMOTE SETTING" on the SET-UP MENU.
2
Set "TYPE SEL." to "SET."
3
Select a pin name ("PIN1" – "PIN5") for which you want to assign a function, then select the function you want
to assign.
• For selectable functions, see the table on the right.

* 4 Selects which functions in "MARKER" are activated, non-"R-" items or "R-" items (☞ page 11).
* 5 Displays the information shown when the button of the current input is pressed (☞ "On the Status Display" on page 7).
While controlling with the MAKE system, the information is displayed only at the moment of short-circuiting.
* 6 While controlling with the MAKE system, the level meter is switched between displayed (short-circuiting) and hidden
(opening). When "LEVEL METER ch" is set to "OFF," the level meter is not displayed ("NO EFFECT" appears). While
controlling with the TRIGGER system, the number of the audio channels displayed is changed (between OFF, 12CH
and 8CH).
7
* While controlling with the MAKE system, the wave form monitor will not disappear until opening the terminal even when
"AUTO OFF" is set to "ON."
* 8 While controlling with the MAKE system, the screen is switched between normal screen (opening) and blue screen
(short-circuiting). While controlling with the TRIGGER system, the screen changes as follows:
Normal screen Red screen
Blue screen Green screen
Operation of the external control
1
Set "TYPE SEL." of "REMOTE SETTING" to "MAKE" or "TRIGGER" in the SET-UP MENU.
2
Short-circuit the 7th pin terminal (ENABLE) to the 8th pin terminal (GND) so that the monitor can be controlled
by the external control.
3
When the "MAKE" system is selected: Operate each function by short-circuiting the corresponding pin terminal
to the 8th pin terminal (GND) or opening it.
When the "TRIGGER" system is selected: Operate each function by pulse control, that is short-circuiting the
corresponding pin terminal to the 8th pin terminal (GND) for about 1 second and opening it.
• When changing the input with MAKE system, only one pin terminal must be short-circuited. (Other pin terminals
must be opened.)
• When selecting the TRIGGER system, you can operate only one function at a time. Operate the functions one
by one.
