Description
1/CH0
Input
Channel number selection signal (8-bit binary 
input). Selects the correction data for each 
channel of the scanner. The most significant 
bit is /CH7 (pin number 11). The least 
significant bit is /CH0 (pin number 1).
2/CH2
3/CH4
4/CH6
5 /CH_VALID Input
Channel number identification signal. If the 
/CH_VALID signal is LOW, a trigger will set the 
channels of the E4981A to the channel 
numbers specified by the signals from /CH0 to 
/CH7.
