Inverting activate
The activation mode and the actual contact status resulting from the relay
type and addressing mode are displayed in the next lines.

Trigger inputs
For the purpose of controlling the measuring sequence two trigger inputs are
provided at ports 8 and 9 (keypad or optocoupler).
The trigger sources ´Key´ and / or ´Optocoupler´ can be defined directly in the
RTA3 by selecting the trigger port and then using keys PROG , PROG ,
▲ / ▼ ... and PROG or the trigger function can, for safety reasons, be dis-
abled altogether by means of ´Off´.
The following trigger functions can be programmed as variants :
Start / stop Start / stop a measuring operation, edge-controlled
Manual Once-only manual measuring channel scan
Delete Max / Min Delete all maximum / minimum values
Print the function Print the measured value
Start / stop, level-triggered Start / stop a measuring operation, level-controlled
Set measured value to zero Set measured value to zero
If these standard functions prove insufficient, it is also possible to enable
´Macro execution´; any one of the 5 available macros can then be selected
and, in the last line of the macro, interface commands can be entered as re-
quired, separated by ´|´. (see Manual 6.6.5).
Macro 5 Execute macro 5
Macro 6 Execute macro 6
Macro 7 Execute macro 7
Macro 8 Execute macro 8
Macro 9 Execute macro 9
13.5.3 Analog output
At sockets A1 and / or A2 it is possible to use not only relays and trigger inputs but
also analog outputs, either as optional ports (4 to 7) with V6 relay trigger adapter
ZA 8006-RTA3 or separately as V5 recording cable ZA 1601-RK. (see Manual
5.1.1) They provide the following output signals :
Recording cable ZA1601-RK Voltage -1.2 to +2.0 V 0.1 mV / digit
Relay trigger adapter ZA8006-RTA3 Voltage 0 to 10 V 0.5 mV / digit
or optionally Current 0 to 20 mA 1 µA / digit
Various configurations are also possible with analog outputs in the menu ´Output
