Measurement Direction Input (Pin 14)
This is an optically isolated input that can be used to externally control the
Measurement Direction feature of the LS8000-3. The input requires a voltage
high (5 to 24V) to activate. The input level should be the same as the voltage
connected to the User V
IN
input (Pin 20) or 5V if there is nothing connected to
the User V
IN
input.
Optically Isolated Input Schematic
There are two ways to reverse the direction of the LS8000-3's measurements:
1. Modify the Direction Inversion setting with LaserTrak (or using the "A"
serial command)
2. Connect 5-24V to the Measurement Direction Input
Changing the Direction Inversion setting with LaserTrak to invert the direction has
the same effect as changing the state of this input.
Note: If the Direction Inversion setting is set to "Reverse +/- Directions" and
the Measurement Direction Input is high, they will cancel each other
out and the LS8000-3 will operate in the default manner.
