For some experiments, external devices need to be controlled as part of a pulse program. The following partial list shows the available RCP lines. Some are used if the system is equipped with gradiet control.

Partial List of RCP Lines on Process Controller Connector JP2:

 9           S        Y-Grad (wfmincY)             Router Analog N
10           S        Y-Grad (wfmincZ)             Router Analog X

Needing a level to control an external device, we ended up using rcp9. Rcp9 is assigned to the y-gradient wave form memory increment.

* Rcp 4 in some consoles (ECL 3 to 6 according to MCI schematics) is wired to Router Analog Z, with ECL 7 & up to Back Panel PB1 Z.

* Rcp 7 is used in some consoles (ECL 3 to 6 according to MCI schematics) to control soft-hard pulses.
