5.  Press                to turn the output ON (enabled), and output 
voltage and current will change as your external DC voltage 
sources or resistances change. 
Note: When external analog control is enabled, all front panel keys are 
locked except for           and                  (         or         for dual 
channel models). Output voltage and current is locked to be 
controlled with the connected external voltage sources or 
resistances only. To return to normal control and display mode, 
follow the steps above to disable external analog control. 
3.13 Digital I/O 
Digital I/O functions are supported with the DIO/Analog card 
installed. 
The instrument uses a DB-9 9-pin interface for digital I/O operations. 
A total of 9 pins are available, 8 of which can be configured as 
INPUT or OUTPUT and 1 for ground (GND) via remote commands 
(Refer to Table 5). The maximum voltage for input is 5 V, and 
maximum voltage for output from the supply is also 5 V.
