5.3.17 Rear Panel: DACs 
 
Figure 5-34, DACs Controls 
These controls, shown in figure 5-34, are used to configure the signals that will 
appear on the four DAC connectors on the rear panel of the instrument. Each control 
has a signal selector; if this is set to User setting then the text box below is used to 
specify the corresponding voltage; otherwise it is grayed out. 
The controls operate as follows: 
DAC1, DAC2, DAC3, and DAC4  
These four controls select which signal will be made available at the corresponding 
DAC 1 to DAC 4 connectors on the rear panel of the instrument. The following 
settings are available, but note that internal connection limitations mean that not all 
settings are available for each DAC connector. 
  X% (2.5V fs) 
 In this setting the corresponding DAC connector on the rear panel of the 
instrument outputs a voltage related to the X1%fs display as follows:- 
      X1%    DAC Voltage 
      +300  7.5 V 
      +100  2.5 V 
      0  0.0 V 
      -100  -2.5 V 
      -300  -7.5 V 
  Y% (2.5V fs) 
 In this setting the corresponding DAC connector on the rear panel of the 
instrument outputs a voltage related to the Y1%fs display as follows:- 
      Y1%    DAC Voltage 
      +300  7.5 V 
      +100  2.5 V 
      0  0.0 V 
      -100  -2.5 V 
      -300  -7.5 V
