Check the communication status with the external devices that are connected with a parallel interface. You can check whether wiring and communication settings have been performed correctly.
- On the Main screen, tap [System] menu - [Communication] - [Parallel].
- Tap [Confirmation] to check the I/O status.STEP0,STEP1DSA0,DSA1GATE0,GATE1OR0,OR1READY0,READY1Operation mode = [Multi-line random-trigger mode] (FZ3-9

- If the operation mode (FZ3-9/H9 only) is [Multi-line random-trigger mode], line 0 uses GATE0, OR0, READY0, STEP0 and DSA0, while line 1 uses GATE1, OR1, READY1, STEP1 and DSA1.
- If the operation mode (FZ3-9/H9 only) is [Multi-line random-trigger mode], the RUN signal cannot be checked.
- If the operation mode (FZ3-9/H9 only) is [Multi-line random-trigger mode], the ERR signal is used in common.
