  • Page 40: Description Of The 25 Pin D-Sub Signals

    DESCRIPTION OF THE 25 PIN D-SUB SIGNALS Good EMC engineering practices should be applied when connecting signals to this port. As the whole system generates disturbances, in order to avoid auto disturbing, all wires connected to this port should be properly shielded, the shield of the cable not serving as signal return path, the shield to be connected via a large surface to the conductive shell of the Sub-D plug.

  • Page 41: Trigger To Scope Output Signal

    This connection is an integral part of the interlock safety circuit. If a number of units are incorporated in a system, then these connections can be “daisy-chained” together to form a single safety circuit. If no external interlock circuit is required, then the shorting connection must be made by using the terminator connector supplied.
