Remote Output Status Events
Table A-9 shows the status events output by the Remote control after
the remote capture has been triggered (where High=5V and
Low=0V). You can configure other devices in your system to read
these events and respond accordingly.
Important
GPO 1 and GPO 2 are duplicated on both the GPIO and Remote sockets. This
is not intended to enable users to connect multiple devices by using both
sockets, rather it makes GPO available to the majority of users who are likely
to use only this Remote socket.
Remote Electrical Specifications
Table A-10 provides electrical specifications for the Remote socket
(GPO=General Purpose Output).

Component Specification
GPO Optically isolated
Maximum External Voltage
Load
18 V when controlling devices con-
nected to an external voltage source.
The GPOs are driven from a single channel of the output optocoupler.
Each open collector output is connected internally to the +5V supply
via a 270
Ω resistor and a diode. This output behaves in a similar
manner to a TTL signal. When connected to a high impedance load,
the output swing is between 0V-4.3V.
Remote Start Optically isolated
Remote Start is connected to one channel of the high CMR
optocoupler. Connecting any one of these inputs to 0 V activates the
required function.
