External auxiliary I/O connector 1 on the DBHD-44/DB-9 cable
adapter bracket
External auxiliary I/O connector 1 on the Matrox Solios eV-CLBL and Matrox
Solios eV-CLFL DBHD-44/DB-9 cable adapter bracket is a standard
D-subminiature 9-pin (DB-9
*
) female connector. It is used to transmit/receive
auxiliary signals. It interfaces with the 10-pin internal auxiliary I/O connector on
the board, making the I/O signals accessible outside the computer enclosure.
The pinout for this connector is as follows. The description of each auxiliary signal
states whether the signal is specific to an independent acquisition path and the
type of signals that can be routed onto it.
*. More accurately known as DE-9.

Description
1 P0_TTL_AUX_IO_0 M_AUX_IO8 TTL auxiliary signal (input/output) for acquisition path 0, which supports: timer
output (M_TIMER3 on M_DEV0), trigger input (trigger controller 0 on acq path
0), user input, user output (M_USER_BIT2), or field polarity input.
4+,5- P0_OPTO_AUX_IN1 M_AUX_IO7 Opto-isolated auxiliary signal (input) for acquisition path 0, which supports:
trigger input (trigger controller 1 on acq path 0) or user input.
6 GND Ground.
7+,2- P0_OPTO_AUX_IN0 M_AUX_IO6 Opto-isolated auxiliary signal (input) for acquisition path 0, which supports:
trigger input (trigger controller 0 on acq path 0), user input, or field polarity
input.
8+,3- P0_LVDS_AUX_IN0 M_AUX_IO10 LVDS auxiliary signal (input) for acquisition path 0, which supports: trigger
input (trigger controller 0 on acq path 0), user input, field polarity input, or
quadrature in put bit 0.
9 NC Not connected.
*. These MIL constants represent the signals as of M IL 10. The signals that were previously represented by M_HARDWARE _P ORTn became represented by
M_AUX_IOn (where the value of n remained the same between the constants). For a complete list of changes between previous MIL versions and MIL 10,
