Triggering a scanner
A typical test scenario might call for using the Model 2651A with a scanner to test a number of DUTs
in sequence. A basic example of this uses the Model 2651A digital I/O port to trigger a scanner
(shown in the figure below). In this example, line 1 of the digital I/O port is used as a trigger output
and connected to the scanner mainframe trigger input, and line 2 of the digital I/O port is used as a
trigger input.
