Each output channel has its own gain and offset adjustments. The Model 96 occupies an XT type expansion slot, but because most of its circuitry is isolated from the PC bus, an external power supply is needed. All inputs and outputs use one DB50 connector. The relays are versatile. The switches are protected against over-current.
All relays are in gold plated sockets.
They are initialized to OFF at power-up. Each relay can be individually addressed using simple commands. Also, there is a master reset command to shut off all the relays at once. The Model 188 is available with 8 to 88 relays installed. Higher current relays are available for AC only applications.
