An externally powered relay connected to the digital output
port is shown in Figure 3-48. Other externally powered
devices can be similarly connected by replacing the relay
with the device. When using the Model 2001’s collector
outputs to turn on externally powered devices, set the
corresponding digital output line parameters as follows
(through the GENERAL/DIGITAL I/O menus):
OUTPUT-STATE=ON
OUTPUT-SENSE=ACTIVE-LOW
In the low state (0V), the output transistor sinks current
through the external device. In the high state, the output
transistor is off (transistor switch is open). This interrupts
current flow through the external device. Most applications
use active-low (ON=0V) OUTPUT-SENSE. Use the
OUTPUT-SENSE menu to check or change the sense of the
digital output line.
