4. Procedure
1. Connect the Alameda board to the J4 and J5 ports of an LX9 MicroBoard as
2. Connect the +24V power supply positive terminal and the ground terminal to the
+24V and the PGND connectors on the Alameda board, respectively.
3. Connect one end of the 750
Ω load resistor to the OUT1 connector on the
Alameda board. Connect the other end of the 750
Ω load resistor to the AGND1
connector on the Alameda board.
4. Verify that the JU1, JU3, JU5, and JU7 jumpers are on the 2-3 position.
5. Verify that the JU2, JU4, JU6, and JU8 jumpers are on the 1-2 position.
6. Connect the J3 USB connector of the LX9 MicroBoard to a PC. This connection
