Connection
Signals such as measurement triggers can be input to the Controller, and signals such as measurement results
can be output from the Controller via its parallel interface. Prepare a parallel I/O cable, and connect it to the
Controller's parallel port for using the parallel interface to input commands and output measurement results.
Parallel Connector Specifications
The Controller has two parallel ports; a standard parallel port and an extended parallel port.
Important
Before the Controller is turned ON, make sure that connectors 0 and 1 are wired correctly. If these connectors
are wired in reverse, the cables or external devices may be damaged.
Parallel I/O Connector 0 (Standard Parallel Port)

ing of the parallel I/O cable is the same as that of the parallel I/O connector 1.
