4.5. BNC Adapter
The BNC Adapter cable connects to either a source or a measure port. The BNC Adapter is useful in cases where the capabilities of a module are not needed, such as connecting to a specialized amplifier. For example, the BNC Adapter could connect to the analog input of a magnet power supply, allowing the M81 to control its output.
When connected to a source port, it acts as a single-ended voltage source with a fixed output range of ±10V.
When connected to a measure port, it acts as a single-ended voltage measurement with a fixed input range of ±10V.
