3. Wiring
3.1. NUT processor to MPA8200 amplifier
A NUT processor can be connected to one or several StepArray columns via
amplifiers (see figure 2). When a NUT is used with several amplifiers (to feed
several columns with the same signal), the inputs are simply daisy chained (see
figure 2b).

NUT to MPA8200 wiring
3.2. MPA8200 amplifier setup
MPA8200 amplifiers should be tuned with all gains to max, and microswitches
set for independent channels, as described in figure 3.

MPA8200 amplifier set-up
3.3. Wiring amplifiers to columns
Wiring amplifiers to columns is straightforward: simply connect each channel of
the MPA8200 amplifier to the corresponding channel of the column and provide
a common ground, as illustrated by figure 4.
