Using the BNC Terminals to Perform Synchronous Operation with Multiple
GS200s
You can synchronize the output (turning on and off) and program execution of multiple
GS200s by connecting their OUTPUT OUT and OUTPUT IN or TRIG OUT and TRIG IN
signals.

Note
• The maximum delay from TRIG IN to TRIG OUT is less than or equal to 1
μ
s.
• The maximum delay from OUTPUT IN to OUTPUT OUT is less than or equal to 20 ms.
• If you are using both the RJ-11 connectors and BNC terminals, do not apply the same signal
to them at the same time. Doing so may cause errors.
Using the BNC Terminals to Perform Synchronous Operation with the
GS200 and Other Devices
You can control the GS200’s output (turning on and off) and program execution by
applying OUTPUT IN or TRIG IN signals that are transmitted from a device such as a
controller.
Additionally, if you connect the GS200’s READY OUT signal to the measurement
trigger input of an external DMM, you can start measurements when the output source
stabilizes.
