(6) OUT3 (ENABLE output)
This turns ON when the Multi-Controller is ready for measurement. This output is
interlocked with the ENABLE indicator.
(7) OUT4 (BUSY output)
This turns ON during sampling with the hold function enabled. It allows you to check
whether or not the self-trigger is functioning correctly. It also turns ON during bank
switching.
(8) Linear output
The linear output outputs a current or voltage in accordance with the measured
value.
(9) Linear GND
The linear GND terminal is the 0V terminal for the linear output.
This ground wire must be grounded separately from the other ground wires.
Always ground the linear output terminal even when linear output is not used.

Signal Name Description
External trigger (timing) input This timing input is for signal input from external devices. Use it for hold
function timing.
Reset input This resets all executing measurements and outputs. While a reset is
being input, judgment output conforms to the non-measurement set-
ting. If this reset input switches ON while the hold function is used, the
state in effect before the hold function was set will be restored.
Zero reset input This is used to execute and clear a zero reset.
Bank input A, B This is used for switching banks. Specify the bank No. in combinations
of A and B.
