VT1536A Isolated Digital Input/Output SCP    5
Configuring for Input
Refer again to Figure 1 for the four valid input threshold, switch 
configurations. Table 1 shows the "input zero" and "input one" levels for the 
nominal threshold settings.
 
 
Configuring for Output
By turning all four of its threshold-setting switches OFF, a channel is 
configured as an output channel.
Installation
After the switches have been configured, the installation for this Plug-on is 
common to several others and is covered in Chapter 1 of your VXI Module 
User's Manual.
Connecting To The Terminal Module
To get started on field wiring to the VT1536A SCP you'll need to know that 
input-configured channels ARE POLARIZED. That is the H terminal must 
be driven positive relative to the L terminal. Output-configured channels are 
not polarized. For more information see “Input and Output Characteristics” 
on page 7
.
The SCP connections for the Terminal Modules are shown on the 
self-adhesive labels that come with the SCP. Use these to label terminal 
definitions on your terminal module. The connections are shown in Figure 2.
