Output signal
The output signals (/INDEX and /EOM) are available as open collector outputs
with photo coupler isolated. You can obtain each voltage output by connecting
a pull-up resistor (refer to Table 9-2) to the exterior of the E4981A.
Table 9-3 shows the electrical characteristics of the output signals. Figure 9-4
shows the circuit diagram of the output signals.
