Auxiliary Port
The 12 V, 1 A auxiliary connector can be used to power an external device such as a TDAS PLUS Wireless Ethernet
device (DTS P/N 10300-01050).
Additional auxiliary signals are available on either of the 19-pin COM connectors. See
Connector Sources
for more information. These signals are:
• Start record input (optically-coupled 0–5 V signal)
• Status output (0–5 V, 20 mA output max)
Start Record Input
Use the Start Record input (used only in Recorder mode) to send a signal to the system to begin recording data
independent of any event signal. Enter the recording time via the software. Once the system receives the start record
signal, data is recorded for the length of time specified. (An event signal can be used separately to facilitate post-
processing of the data.) Carefully specify the recording parameters to be sure you capture the desired event within the
data window. (See your software manual for additional information.) Please contact DTS for additional information on
how this may be useful in your application.
Status Output Signal
The Status Output signal is available for use as an indicator of system status. A typical application would be in an
environment where operators may be a substantial distance away from the test equipment, in a control room, or other
remote location, and need confirmation from the system that it is armed and healthy prior to testing. The next section
describes this function.
Status Output Functional Description
When the system is not armed, the status output is always low (near 0 V), regardless of signals on the event input.
The status output will be high (near 5 V) ONLY when all of the following conditions are met:
• The unit is armed, AND
• The unit is ready to record data (is in Circular Buffer mode, or has received a start signal in Recorder mode), AND
• The unit had not received an event signal, AND
• The unit's power status is within acceptable levels.
