Inputs/Outputs Tab¶

The In / Out tab provides access to the settings of the Instrument’s main Signal Inputs and Signal Outputs. It is available on all MFIA instruments.

Features¶

Signal input configuration
Signal output configuration

Description¶

The In / Out tab gives access to the same settings as do the left-most and the right-most sections of the Lock-in tab. It is mainly intended to be used on small screens that can not show the entire the Lock-in tab at once. Whenever the tab is closed or an additional one of the same type is needed, clicking the following icon will open a new instance of the tab.

Table 1: Overview of app icons and short description
Control/Tool	Option/Range	Description
Lock-in		Quick overview and access to all the settings and properties for signal generation and demodulation.
Lock-in MD		Quick overview and access to all the settings and properties for signal generation and demodulation.
Files		Access files on internal flash memory and USB drive.
Numeric		Access to all continuously streamed measurement data as numerical values.
Plotter		Displays various continuously streamed measurement data as traces over time (roll mode).
Scope		Displays shots of data samples in time and frequency domain (FFT) representation.
DAQ		Provides complex trigger functionality on all continuously streamed data samples and time domain display.
Spectrum		Provides FFT functionality to all continuously streamed measurement data.
Sweeper		Sweep frequencies, voltages, and other quantities over a defined range and display various response functions including statistical operations.
Aux		Controls all settings regarding the auxiliary inputs and auxiliary outputs.
In/Out		Gives access to all controls relevant for the Signal Inputs and Signal Outputs of each channel.
DIO		Gives access to all controls relevant for the digital inputs and outputs including DIO, Trigger Inputs, Trigger Outputs, and Marker Outputs.
Config		Provides access to software configuration.
Device		Provides instrument specific settings.
PID		Features all control, analysis, and simulation capabilities of the PID controllers.
MOD		Control panel to enable (de)modulation at linear combinations of oscillator frequencies.
IA		Quick overview and access to all the settings and properties for impedance measurements.
MDS		Synchronize multiple instruments.
ZI Labs		Experimental settings and controls.

The In / Out tab contains one section for the signal inputs and one for the signal outputs. All of the corresponding connectors are placed on the instrument front panel. The In / Out tab looks differently depending on whether the MF-MD Multi-demodulator option is installed or not.

Functional Elements¶

All functional elements are equivalent to the ones on the Lock-in tab. See the Lock-in Tab or Lock-in MF Tab for a detailed description of the functional elements.
