External Control

7 About the external control

This monitor has two external control terminals.
• MAKE/TRIGGER terminal (RJ-45): The following external control systems are available.
(1) MAKE (make contact) system: Controls the monitor by short-circuiting the corresponding pin terminal to
the GND pin terminal, or disconnecting (opening) it (☞ below).
(2) TRIGGER (trigger) system: Controls the monitor by sending the pulse signal instantaneously to the
corresponding pin terminal (☞ below).
• RS-232C terminal (D-sub 9-pin): Controls the monitor with the RS-232C system. (☞ page 17)
• Control priority is as follows.
MAKE > TRIGGER, RS-232C, buttons and menu on the monitor
• You can use the external control even when "CONTROL LOCK" is set to "ON" (☞ page 15).
• When the monitor is off (on standby), external control is not available.

7 Using the MAKE/TRIGGER system

You can control the monitor by a personal computer or dedicated controller*
* 1 The controller is not commercially available. Consult your dealer if you need it.
The MAKE/TRIGGER terminal is configured as follows. You can assign a function to each pin terminal in
"REMOTE SETTING" (☞ "PIN1, PIN2, PIN3, PIN4, PIN5" on page 15).

invalid.)

* The 7th pin terminal makes the external control valid/invalid. Make sure to control the terminal by the MAKE system.
• You cannot change the functions assigned to the pin terminals from 6th to 8th.
• When "FORMAT INDICATOR" in "FUNCTION SETTING" is set to "ON," the TALLY lamp cannot be controlled
by the external control (☞ page 14)
• You cannot assign the same function to different pin terminals.
• The TRIGGER system switches each function by short-circuiting the pin terminal for about 1 second and
opening it.
