4.2 External I/O Control Signal Connector
The Sequoia/Tahoe power supply is provided with an External I/O Control Signal 15-pin connector on the
rear panel. This section contains the setup and operating configuration of Output ON/OFF Status, External
Synchronization, Fault status, Remote inhibit, External Analog Modulation of Output Voltage, and Trigger
Functions. Refer to Figure 4-4 for the connector pin-out diagram and Table 4-1 for connector pin-out
details.
