Remote Pin Allocations
Table A-7 shows the allocations for the 7 pins in the Remote socket
(GPO=General Purpose Output).
Of these seven pins, your external switch is concerned with the two
control input pins (3 and 5) and the ground pin (7). In order to start
a remote capture, your external switch must force pin 3 to GND (that
is, short circuit it). In order to stop a remote capture, your external
switch must force pin 5 to GND. Figure A-1 illustrates the external
switch between control input pin 3 and ground pin 7 closed to start
a remote capture.
