䡵 ABOUT EXTERNAL CONTROL
The Multi-Format Monitor has two external control terminals.
One is the MAKE/TRIGGER terminal, which allows the monitor to be controlled by the MAKE(make contact) or TRG. (trigger
contact) method selected in the function setting.
MAKE (make contact system): Controls the function by stable disconnection (terminal open) or short-circuiting (short with GND of

TRG. (trigger system)
: Controls the function by instantaneously (one second) short-circuiting (short with GND of 15th
terminal) the controlled terminal.
* MAKE or TRIGGER are selected from REMOTE SYSTEM in the setup menu.
* The 14th terminal (REMOTE ENABLE) is always controlled by the make contact system regardless of the REMOTE SYSTEM
* The 14th terminal (REMOTE ENABLE) is always controlled by the make contact system regardless of the REMOTE SYSTEM
setting.
The other terminal used for remote control is the RS-232C terminal. This allows the monitor to be controlled by a PC via serial
communication.
communication.
NOTE: Control priority is in the following order; 1 MAKE/TRIGGER terminal > 2 RS-232C terminal > 3 front panel buttons.
When trigger contact is on, the front panel buttons can be operated.

When trigger contact is on, the setting switches between ON and OFF every time the terminal is short-circuited.

䡵 HOW TO USE THE MAKE/TRIGGER TERMINAL
Connections
Connect (short-circuit) the 15th terminal (GND) to each of the 1st through 14th terminals in the 3-line
15-pin D-sub connector. The functions of each terminal are listed below.
15-pin D-sub connector. The functions of each terminal are listed below.
Operation
1. Set REMOTE ENABLE to ON.
2. Short-circuit or disconnect the desired terminal. (When trigger contact is on, duration of short-circuit is approx. 1 second.)
2. Short-circuit or disconnect the desired terminal. (When trigger contact is on, duration of short-circuit is approx. 1 second.)
Changing the Signal Input
1. Set REMOTE ENABLE to ON.
2. Short-circuit the desired INPUT terminal. (When trigger contact is on, duration of short-circuit is approx. 1 second.)
3. Disconnect the INPUT terminal selected above. The signal input is actually changed after the disconnection has been
2. Short-circuit the desired INPUT terminal. (When trigger contact is on, duration of short-circuit is approx. 1 second.)
3. Disconnect the INPUT terminal selected above. The signal input is actually changed after the disconnection has been
completed.
NOTES: • When more than two terminals are selected (short-circuited) from INPUT A through INPUT F, the signal input is not changed.
To control INPUT A through INPUT F, we recommend using the interlock switch, which turns off a switch when another switch is turned on.
• When trigger contact is on, and if several terminals are short-circuited simultaneously, proper control cannot be done. It is always
necessary to short-circuit one terminal for one operation. Also, use of the Tact Switch is recommended.
