  • 3.5 mm jack socket on bottom of instrument

    provides both analog ac and dc output signals to other pieces of equipment
    - use the ac output for tape recording or to view waveform on CRT screen
    - output voltage 7.25 V rms for full scale deflection
    ac signal on tip and ground on sleeve
    - use the dc output to pass the sound signal to a datalogging system on a PC
    - output voltage 25 mV per dB not exceeding 6 V for full scale
    dc signal on ring and ground on sleeve
