External Analog 
Programming of 
Output Current 
Amplitude – SINK-
Electronic Load 
Mode 
Signal input for output current amplitude programming of waveform that is set by internal 
controller reference;  
Signal ranges: 0-10 VDC for zero to full-scale RMS of internally programmed output 
current; 
programming accuracy, ±2% of full-scale output;  
individual inputs provided for each output phase; input impedance, 40 kΩ, typical; 
safety isolation SELV-rated, referenced to chassis; 
External Analog 
Modulation of 
Output Voltage  
Signal input for output voltage modulation of waveform set by internal controller reference;  
0-5 V(RMS) signal range for 0-10%  output voltage amplitude modulation; 
programming accuracy, ±2% of full-scale output;  
individual inputs provided for each output phase; input impedance, 40 kΩ, typical; 
safety isolation SELV-rated, referenced to chassis. 
NOTE: External Analog waveform modulation function is not supported in SINK- Electronic 
Load mode 
Trigger Output  
Signal output with dual function: user selectable as either function trigger or list trigger; 
function trigger provides a pulse for any programmable change in output voltage or 
frequency; list trigger provides a pulse if programmed as part of list transients; 
pulse logic level, user-selectable as active-high or active-low; pulse duration, 550 µs; 
rear panel BNC connector; safety isolation SELV-rated, referenced to chassis. 
Isolated Output 
Voltage 
Monitor Outputs 
 
Signal outputs for each output phase for monitoring the waveform of the command signal 
of the output amplifier;  
0-7.07V(RMS) signal range for zero to full-scale output voltage; 
rear panel BNC connector; safety isolation SELV-rated, referenced to chassis. 
Isolated Output 
Current 
Monitor Outputs 
Signal outputs for each output phase for monitoring the waveform of the command signal 
of the output amplifier;  
0-7.07V(RMS) signal range for zero to full-scale output voltage; 
rear panel BNC connector; safety isolation SELV-rated, referenced to chassis. 
Trigger Input 
Signal input for external trigger for execution of programmed value;   
logic level, TTL-compatible; 
Signal return common to signals, Trigger input, Synchronization Clock and Remote Inhibit;  
safety isolation SELV-rated. 
Synchronization 
Signal (SYNC) 
Input 
Signal input for external square wave clock to control the output frequency and phase of 
the waveform generated by the internal generator;  
logic level, TTL-compatible; 
Signal return common to signals, Trigger input, Synchronization Clock and Remote Inhibit;  
safety isolation SELV-rated. 
NOTE: Not available with FC option and also not available with LKM and LKS option 
NOTE: SYNC input is not supported in SINK-Electronic Load operating mode 
Output Status  
Monitors state of the output relay. Isolated TTL output. High if output relay is closed, low if 
output relay is open 
Remote Inhibit 
Input 
Signal input to turn the output on/off;  
logic level, TTL-compatible; user-selectable as active-high or active-low; 
Signal return common to signals, Trigger input, Synchronization Clock and Remote Inhibit;  
safety isolation SELV-rated.
