English term or phrase: to toggle active / output
Auch hier wieder das Output-Problem (Ausgang/Ausgabe):

Output 1 Parameters:

Over-temperature:

Setups the output to toggle active when an over-temperature condition is detected.

Aus dem Kontext tendiere ich eher zu Ausgabe, aber dann verstehe ich o.g. Satz nicht. In solchen Fällen wie z. B. Übertemperatur sollte es doch eher um Deaktivierung gehen, oder?

German translation:Not if this is a sensor signal
Explanation:
Suppose you wish to light a little red light when the temp is too high? Then you go active.

I go along with you, it is Ausgang. Also, an 'active' state can be defined at will. It may be +5 V or 0V, for instance, depending on the designer.

agree  Klaus Herrmann: Ausgang, denke ich auch. Stell dir denn Ausgang nicht zum (direkten) Abschalten, sondern als Alarmausgang zum Melden der Überhitzung vor, dann passt's.
