Switching between current sink (NPN) and current source
(PNP)
Before switching, thoroughly read “Before switching between current sink (NPN) and
current source (PNP)” (p. 11).
The EXT.I/O mode switch (NPN/PNP) allows you to change the type of PLC
(programmable controller) that is supported.
The instrument ships with the switch set to the NPN position.
