Cabling and Using External Readout Devices
Cabled appropriately, your controller can send station signals to external readout
devices such as oscilloscopes and digital-volt-meters. You define which signal is
sent to the readout device using the Station Setup window’s Readout panel.
For more information, see “Working with Readout Devices” in the MTS 793
Control Software manual.

The block diagram identifies the station signals you can monitor.
