Operation

Model 2090 Multi-Device Controller

USING AUXILIARY CONTROL FUNCTIONS

The four auxiliary control ports on the rear panel of the

Model 2090 allow the connection of additional devices (for

example: Remote Air Polarized Tripods, LISNs, EUTs,

etc.) to the controller. The auxiliary control outputs provide

four non-interrelated fiber optic ON/OFF signals that can

either respond to GPIB commands when in the remote

mode, or can be toggled ON and OFF from the front panel

while in the manual mode.

NOTE: The auxiliary controls can be used for custom

applications requiring a simple ON/OFF signal by using

readily available TTL output fiber optic receivers.

While in manual mode, auxiliary devices may be toggled

ON and OFF by pressing the AUX CONTROL key on the

front panel of the controller that corresponds to the desired

auxiliary device port. Both the keys and the ports are

numbered one through four. When the indicator above the

device key is lit, the auxiliary device output is turned ON.

When the indicator above the device key is not lit, the

auxiliary device output is turned OFF. While in remote

mode, auxiliary devices can be turned ON and OFF by

using the appropriate GPIB command (see “Remote

Operations”). The auxiliary devices can be controlled

using the GPIB address of either primary device.
