Table 3-1. The Scanner’s DB-78 connector pin assignments.
ChxHi, ChxLo - These are the channel positive and negative terminals for all group channels, respectively. It starts
with Ch1Hi/Lo and ends with Ch32Hi/Lo. Depending on the Scanner configuration, these lines are routed to the bus
terminals AHi/Lo, BHi/Lo, CHi/Lo, or DHi/Lo.
AHi, ALo - These are the A-bus positive and negative terminals respectively. The channels positive and negative
lines may be routed to these lines depending on Scanner configuration. In the Universal mode, it is also possible to
route bus pairs to other bus pairs.
BHi, BLo - These are the B-bus positive and negative terminals respectively. The channels positive and negative
lines may be routed to these lines depending on Scanner configuration. In the Universal mode, it is also possible to
route bus pairs to other bus pairs. In TwoWire mode these are also Ch33Hi/Ch33Lo lines.
CHi, CLo - These are the C-bus positive and negative terminals respectively. The channels positive and negative
lines may be routed to these lines depending on Scanner configuration. In the Universal mode, it is also possible to
route bus pairs to other bus pairs. In TwoWire mode these are also Ch34Hi/Ch34Lo lines.
DHi, DLo - These are the D-bus positive and negative terminals respectively. The channel positive and negative
lines may be routed to these lines depending on Scanner configuration. In the Universal mode, it is also possible to
route bus pairs to other bus pairs. It is important to note that when using the Isothermal Block the DHi and DLo
terminals should not be used, and a configuration involving them should not be selected with the exeption of the
ColdJunction configuration which selects the Cold Junction temerature sensor of an SMX40T. Therefore
configurations such as FourGroups should not be used, and when selecting Universal configuration, care must be
taken not to include these terminals. Since these lines also serve as Ch35Hi/Ch35Lo, avoid selecting Ch35 when
using the Isothermal Block (SMX40T) In TwoWire mode.
TrigComm - This is the TrigIn and TrigOut return terminal. Both of these signals are referenced to it. All three
signals associated with the trigger circuitry, TrigComm, TrigIn, and TrigOut are optically isolated from the rest of
the terminals in the DB-78 connector.
