3.10 DIGITAL DATA PORT
15-pin female Interface connector provides 3 optoinsulated “trigger” inputs.
These inputs can be used to dynamically alter two RDS flags (TA and M/S) and to enable
Split operating mode in response to logic signal transitions.
INPUT 1 is used to carry external network ‘split’ command (ref to Section 5).
INPUT 2 is used to dynamically alter M/S RDS flag (ref to Section 10.3). Input enabling
will cause LED 2 on Front Panel to light.
INPUT 3 is used to dynamically alter TA RDS flag (ref to Section 10.3). Input enabling
enabling will cause LED 3 on Front Panel to light.
The following table displays internal connection of Digital Port and how to provide (f.i.) an external TTL
command to Input # 1.
