German term or phrase: Schaltausgang
Each software variant of the system in my document which uses light sensors to count the number of objects on a conveyor belt, for example, has a "Schaltausgang". Some functions have 2. Any ideas?

English translation:digital output
Explanation:
This term is correct (in the US) especially when paired with analog output. Whilw analog provides voltages of different levels, the digital output is either on or off, either 5 Volts or zero.

Explanation:
I am not certain and it is hard to really venture a guess without knowing more context, i.e. the purpose of this Schaltausgang, what does it do, which I imagine would be clear with the overall context. My guess is that it is "switching output" for triggering something. Sounds very literal, but the context is really not much to gone.

Switching Output


Explanation:
I tend to agree with Leipzig in that it is hard to know what is meant without further context. Switching output seems to be the best bet on the information available. HTH wolfgang

Explanation:
Schaltausgang is the point on a relay sensor to which switching is directed. Depending on sensory input those can be one or many. Check the URLs below for an example.
