SourceOutput (Data Acquisition Toolbox)

Specify the source output

Description

SourceOutput can be Normal, Grounded, Open, CALOUT, or SRC&CALOUT.

If SourceOutput is Normal, the normal source output is used. This output is defined by the source mode and other source parameters.

If SourceOutput is Grounded, the source output connector remains grounded while the source D/A converter is internally connected to the CALOUT line in the module.

If SourceOutput is Open, the source remains open-circuited even when the source is started. The impedance on the output is only about 1 kilohm because the power-fail decay circuit is still connected to the output.

If SourceOutput is CALOUT, the source output is connected to the module's internal CALOUT line. This allows the module's CALOUT line to be driven by an external signal applied at the source output connector.

If SourceOutput is SRC&CALOUT, the source output is connected to the module's internal CALOUT line, and the source D/A converter is also connected to the CALOUT line. This is a combination of the Grounded and CALOUT values, and is useful for multimainframe calibration.

Values

{Normal}
Normal source output.

Grounded
The source output connector remains grounded while the source D/A converter is internally connected to the CALOUT line in the module.

Open
The source remains open-circuited even when the source is started.

CALOUT
The source output is connected to the module's internal CALOUT line.

SRC&CALOUT
The source output connector remains grounded while the source D/A converter is internally connected to the CALOUT line in the module. The source output is also connected to the module's internal CALOUT line.

`{Normal}`	Normal source output.
`Grounded`	The source output connector remains grounded while the source D/A converter is internally connected to the CALOUT line in the module.
`Open`	The source remains open-circuited even when the source is started.
`CALOUT`	The source output is connected to the module's internal CALOUT line.
`SRC&CALOUT`	The source output connector remains grounded while the source D/A converter is internally connected to the CALOUT line in the module. The source output is also connected to the module's internal CALOUT line.
