Trigger input

The

TRIG

pin is an external digital trigger input that you can configure for either rising/falling edge, or high/low

level.

Counter input

The

CTR

pin is a 32-bit event counter that can accept frequency inputs up to 1 MHz. The internal counter

increments when the TTL levels transition from low to high.

Ground

The analog ground (

AGND

) pin provide a common ground for all analog channels. The digital ground (

GND

)

pins provide a common ground for the digital, trigger, counter, and power terminals.

Power output

The +

VO

pin is a 3.3 volt output that can source up to 50 mA that is supplied by the power source of the device.

You can use this terminal to power external devices or circuitry.

Caution! The

+V0

pin is an output. Do not connect to an external power supply or you may damage the

BTH-1208LS and possibly the computer.
