7 About the external control
This monitor has two external control terminals.
• MAKE/TRIGGER terminal (RJ-45): The following external control systems are available.
(1) MAKE (make contact) system: Controls the monitor by short-circuiting the corresponding pin terminal to
the GND pin terminal, or disconnecting (opening) it (☞ below).
(2) TRIGGER (trigger) system: Controls the monitor by sending the pulse signal instantaneously to the
corresponding pin terminal (☞ below).
• RS-232C terminal (D-sub 9-pin): Controls the monitor with the RS-232C system. (☞ page 17)
• Control priority is as follows.
MAKE > TRIGGER, RS-232C, buttons and menu on the monitor
• You can use the external control even when “CONTROL LOCK” is set to “ON” (☞ page 15).
• When the monitor is off (on standby), external control is not available.

The 7th pin terminal makes the external control valid/invalid. Make sure to control the terminal by the MAKE system.
• You cannot change the functions assigned to the pin terminals from 6th to 8th.
• When “FORMAT INDICATOR” in “FUNCTION SETTING” is set to “ON,” the TALLY lamp cannot be controlled
by the external control (☞ page 14)
• You cannot assign the same function to different pin terminals.
• The TRIGGER system switches each function by short-circuiting the pin terminal for about 1 second and
opening it.
To assign the functions to the pin terminals
For the operation procedure, see page 7.
1 Select “REMOTE SETTING” on the SET-UP MENU.
2 Set “TYPE SEL.” to “SET.”
3 Select a pin name (“PIN1” – “PIN5”) for which you want to assign a function, then select the function you want
to assign.
• For selectable functions, see the table on the right.
This is a female
terminal.
