BNC 588 OEM-1NS User manual
588-OEM-1NS Board Level Overview
The 588-OEM-1NS is a board level, digital pulse generator based on the 565 series
in terms of specifications, communications, and overall functionality. The unit
is available with 2, 4, or 8 independent outputs for synchronizing
multiple events. All communications take place through RS232, USB, or
GPIB as there is no keypad/display interface included. Like the 565, the
8510 is capable of generating multiple pulses and triggers for all
applications; although, additional setup is required before basic operation
may begin.
Mounting & Communications
•Care should be taken in mounting the OEM board. As no mounting holes
are included, it is recommended that card guide mounts (or equivalent)
be used. Mechanical clearances can be seen below in Figure 1. Care
should be taken to ensure that no foreign conductive material makes
contact with either side of the OEM board to eliminate destructive
electrical shorting.
•All communications take place through a RS232, USB, or GPIB interface
with the use of Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments
(SCPI) command structure. Reference the SCPI command section for
more information regarding the implementation of SCPI syntax allowing
for complete OEM board control.
NOTE: All Display commands should not be used when operating the OEM
as no display interface is included.
Required Connections
•The 588-OEM-1ns must be supplied with +5VDC and +24VDC via connector J20.*
•The power switch connector at J5 must have the pins shorted together for
power to be supplied to the board.
NOTE: This connector comes jumpered.
•The 588-OEM-1ns channel outputs are individually labeled and can be seen below
in Figure 2.
•All other specified connectors shown in Figure 2 can be used for the
implementation of additional features, but are not required during
basic setup and pulsing.
*A recommended +5VDC/+24VDC power supply may be included for an
additional cost.
