I need to apply a high signal for a few seconds/minutes to the digital input of a given instrument every 48 hours.
The simplest way of making this that I could think of consists of:
- A mains timer (set to to turn on every 48 hours and stay on for 1 minute);
- A mains AC to 5 V DC adapter (5 V connected to digital input of instrument).
However, I am not sure if I can connect the 5 V DC directly to the Digital Input. Could anyone please let me know if I need to improve the above so that I do not damage the instrument?
Thank you for your time.
