High-Level Input Channel12
12.7 Analog Output Configuration
12.7.1 Identifying the
Output Type
A High-Level Input channel is available with one of two types of digital-to-analog
(DAC) outputs: voltage or current. You can determine which type of output a
channel has by one of three ways:
• Consulting the instrument’s Customer Information Sheet
• Examining the
SYSTEM MENU
->
CONFIGURATION
->
CHANNEL
nn
TYPE
menu item where
nn is the number of the channel. If the channel’s type is
HIGH-LEVEL V
, it has a
voltage output. If the channel’s type is
HIGH-LEVEL I
, it has a current output.
• Examining the channel’s circuit board as shown in the figure below.
12.7.2 Channel Menu Items
The Analog Output can be driven by any channel’s track, peak or valley value.
See the “Channel Menu” section earlier in this chapter for a complete listing of
SETUP menu items available on the
DAC. SETUP
sub-menu.
12.7.3 Output Selection
Jumpers located on the channel’s circuit board determine what outputs are gener-
ated when the value selected to drive the Analog Output (from the
DAC. CHANNEL
and
DAC. SOURCE
menu items) equals the
DAC. FULL SCALE
and
DAC. ZERO SCALE
settings.
