Keysight N77xx Series Optical Switch
There are two BNC connectors on the rear panel of your instrument.
These are the Trigger Out and the Trigger In connectors.
The Trigger In is a TTL input. A maximum of 5 V can be applied as an external voltage
to this input connector.
The Trigger Output is the only output BNC connector. This is a TTL output. Do not
apply an external voltage to this connector.
This section explains the concept of LAN in details.
For the purposes of this guide, a private (isolated) LAN network is
defined as a network configuration in which instrument access is a
direct connection between the computer and the instrument, or to
multiple instruments connected via a dedicated router or switch. A site
(company-wide) LAN is defined as a network in which instrument
access is available to many users at on-site and remote locations. The
instrument's application and/or your company's IT (Information
Technology) department may have guidelines that help decide the type
of network (private or site) used. If a network configuration has not
been determined, refer to the following considerations concerning each
type.
Among the basic parameters of a private LAN network to consider are
security, performance, reliability, and IP address availability.
