Trigger input
The
TRIG
connection is an external digital trigger input. The trigger mode is software selectable for:
Level-sensitive or edge-sensitive
Rising or falling edge
High or low level
The default setting at power up is edge sensitive, rising edge.
Retrigger
The acquisition uses the trigger settings for positive edge/negative edge and level-sensitive/edge-sensitive, but
automatically re-arms the trigger after it is activated
Power output
You can use the two
+5V
connections to supply power to external devices or circuitry. These terminals can
output up to 285 mA. Refer to Figure 4 and Figure 3 on page 10 for the location of this pin.
Caution! The
+5V
terminals are outputs. Do not connect to an external power supply or you may damage
the USB-1208HS-4AO and possibly the computer.
Ground
The analog ground (
AGND
) connections provide a common ground for all analog I/O channels. The ground
(
GND
) connections provide a common ground for the digital I/O, timer/counter I/O, timer, clock I/O, and the
+5 V terminals.
