Do not use these connectors other than extension module usage
purpose.
R_O, T_O, S_O Output signals for monitoring data capturing and trigger timing.
Read output (R_O) indicates waveform data is transferred to PC,
Trigger output (T_O) indicates trigger condition has occurred, and
Start output (S_O) indicates GLA started waiting for trigger
condition. For details, see page61.
CLK External (synchronous) clock signal input, 0.001Hz ~ 100MHz.
For details, see page41.
GND Ground terminal.
We strongly recommend
connecting both two Ground
terminals to ensure stable data
capturing.
