    MPA8200 amplifier to the corresponding channel of the column and provide a common ground, as illustrated by figure 4. A NUT processor can be connected to one or several StepArray columns via amplifiers (see figure 2). When a NUT is used with several amplifiers (to feed several columns with the same signal), the inputs are simply daisy chained (see figure 2b).
