    The /TRIG signal (pin 12 and 13) is connected to the cathode of the LED in an opto-coupler. TH2816B is triggered on the rising edge of the /TRIG pulse. The anode of the LED can be powered from the internal 5 V, or by an external voltage source EXTV2.

  • Page 91: Operation

    Operation To use the handler interface, after setting up the handler interface board, setup the limit table for using the comparator function or the list sweep setup table for using the list sweep comparator function. Then set the handler interface to be enabled to output/input the signals.
