Connecting External Devices to the SIM
WARNING!
These procedures require you to work with exposed wires. Ensure
that your systems are powered off and unplugged before performing this task.
This section explains how to connect different external devices to the SIM. Before
connecting the device, locate the connector ports that you will use on the back of
the SIM. Notice that the terminals differ for different devices:
To import analog signals to the NGC instrument, connect the external
device to either the SIM 1 or SIM 2 ports. See the section
external detector to the SIM 1 and SIM 2 ports
To export digital signals from the NGC instrument, connect the external
device to the DAC A port. Optionally, to trigger the external device to start
measuring data from the NGC instrument, connect a trigger wire to the
DIGITAL OUT port. See the section
To connect an external device to the
DAC A and DIGITAL OUT ports on page
.
Tip:
The SIM ships with its connectors inserted into their ports.
To connect an external detector to the SIM 1 and SIM 2 ports
1.
On the back of the SIM, firmly grasp the green SIM 1 or SIM 2 connector and
pull it straight out of its port.
