Analog Recorder Output Connection/Usage
As previously discussed, the analog outputs are identical and interchangeable. One output per
STC-2002 may be used for a strip chart recorder regardless of the number of sensor cards enabled. A
standard unit having one sensor card may use the second channel for strip chart recording as discussed
here. In this example, the second output provides an analog output voltage proportional to either displayed
rate, rate deviation, power, or thickness. The channel and status value are selected using the system
configuration menu. The names of the related system configuration menu items are recorder function,
recorder output channel and need SS card.
The second analog output, here described for possible use as the analog recorder output voltage,
has the connections as described above for Control Signal 2, that is pins 2, 6, 1 and shield. It is
recommended that a shielded, twisted pair cable be used to make the connection from the STC-2002 to the
chart recorder input.

Analog Recorder Output Calibration / Interpretation
Recorder Output Types
Thickness Mode - The analog recorder output in the thickness mode is always scaled for plus or
minus 999 angstroms full-scale (9.99V). Resolution is always one (1) angstrom. Display readings above
999 angstroms will be sent to the recorder output as the remainder of the displayed value divided by 1000.
