The DFX-8+ is also equipped with an analog outputs to send a 0-10 volt electrical
signal to an external device to control a system process to respond in a different
manner considering the voltage measured. The outputs are updated at the same
rate as the PRF (pulse repetition frequency) setting. There is 100 ohm output
impedance which will vary the voltage slightly and should therefore be calibrated to
the device connected. The output options are amplitude or distance. Refer to the
Top & Bottom end caps or connections on page 24 for further info on the pins used
on the Lemo 1 5 pin connector. The procedures for activating and selecting
amplitude or distance are outlined below:
Activating Analog Out
1) Press the MENU key once to activate the menu items tab. Press the MENU
key multiple times to tab right and the ESC key multiple times to tab left until
the UTIL menu is highlighted and displaying the submenu items.
Alternatively, press the

UP and DOWN arrow keys multiple times using the left button
wheel to scroll through the sub menu items until ANALOG OUTPUT is
highlighted.
