SA8Features
Inputs
There are eight available inputs located on the DB9 connector on the front panel of
the SA8.
Outputs
The eight output channels are accessible via the DB25 connector and are arranged
for optional direct connection to a PP16 Patch Panel. For easy wiring and connection
to a wide variety of transducers, the eight outputs are duplicated on the DB25 and
sufficient ground pins are provided to allow for connections requiring a single ground
for all channels or paired grounds for each channel. See “Mapping SA8 Output to
PP16 Connectors” on page 16-30, for more information on easy access to SA8
output channels via the patch panel.
