SA8 Features
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 Analog Outputs to PP16 Connectors for more information on easy access to SA8 output channels via the patch panel.
Gain
The gain is controlled by two toggle switches on the front panel of the SA8. The following table describes the selectable gain values.
