You can configure all LGR-5320 Series analog input channels for voltage input ranges of ±10 V, ±5 V, or ±1 V.
The LGR-5327 and LGR-5329 also support a ±30 V voltage input range.
Unused analog input channels can either be left floating or connected to an
AGND
pin.
When using the ±30 V input range with the LGR-5327 and LGR-5329, keep source impedance and source
capacitance as small as possible to minimize settling time, gain, and bandwidth errors.
When connecting differential inputs to floating voltage sources in the ±10 V, ±5 V, ±1 V ranges, the user must
provide a DC return path from the low channel (CHxL) connector of each differential input to ground. To do
this, simply connect a resistor from the CHxL connector of the differential inputs to AGND. A value of
approximately 100
kΩ can be used for most applications.
On the LGR-5325, the
AGND
and
GND
terminals are tied together internally. These grounds are electrically
isolated from the
EGND
(earth ground) terminal block pin.
On the LGR-5327, the
AGND, ENC,
and
GND
terminals are tied together internally. These grounds are
electrically isolated from the
EGND
terminal block pin.
On the LGR-5329, the
AGND, ENC,
and
GND
terminals are tied together internally. These grounds are
electrically isolated from the
EGND
and the
IGND
(isolated ground) terminal block pins.
Trigger input
The LGR-5320 Series supports the following trigger modes to accommodate certain measurement situations.
External digital trigger
External analog trigger (single-channel)
Digital pattern trigger
The LGR-5327 and LGR-5329 also support multichannel analog trigger mode.
To manually trigger an acquisition, press the
TRIG/EVENT
button.
Digital and analog triggers connected
The input of the digital trigger and the output of the single-channel analog signal comparator are connected
directly to hardware circuits to provide low-latency triggering. Latencies should be low (around 1.5 µs).
External digital trigger
A digital (or TTL-level) trigger starts an acquisition when the trigger condition is met at the
DTRIG
terminal.
When using digital triggering, the TTL trigger signal on the
DTRIG
connector is for a trigger condition. When
the selected condition occurs, it is the trigger event.
If the LGR-5320 Series device is ready for a trigger, then the trigger event occurs.
