==The RIGHT Slot on 11400 and DSA600 Scopes== | |||
In 11400 and DSA600 scopes, the trigger output from the LEFT and CENTER plug-ins | |||
are routed to the RIGHT plug-in's auxiliary trigger inputs. | |||
They are the same as the 11300 scopes in this regard. | |||
However, 11400 and DSA600 scopes have a three-input channel switch, in contrast to the 11300's two-input channel switch. | |||
Therefore, 11400 and DSA600 scopes can use the signal output from any of the three plug-in compartments | |||
as input to the digitizer, and as the vertical signal. | |||
