Chapter 7 Analog Output
The Model BT3561A, BT3562A, BT3562-01, BT3563A, and BT3563-01 are
capable of generating analog output for resistance measured values. Changes
in resistance values can be recorded by connecting the instrument's analog out-
put to a logger or similar device.
This section descries how to connect cables to the analog output terminals on
the instrument's rear panel.

To avoid electrical shock and instrument damage, turn the instrument and con-
nected equipment off and/or disconnect the probes from the test object before
connecting the analog output terminals.
To avoid damaging the instrument, do not short the output terminals or input volt-
age to them.
