Setting Meaning
Off Sets the output of the port to ground.
Analog Output Sets the port to provide a voltage proportional to the measurement in
the selected measurement channel. (CW mode)
Pass/Fail Sets the port to provide a logic level output dependent upon the result
of the limit checking of the selected measurement channel.
Signal Channel
(ML248xA only)
Sets the port to provide a real time output from the CW signal channel
associated with the port. BNC port 1 is associated with sensor input A
and BNC port 2 is associated with sensor input B.
Levelling Used to set the port to provide an output from either range 1 or range
2 of the signal channel associated with the port. The port association
is the same as for the ‘Signal Channel’ mode.
