Connectors on Matrox Solios eV-CLB and eV-CLF boards 85
External auxiliary I/O connector 0
External auxiliary I/O connector 0 on the Matrox Solios eV-CLB and Matrox
Solios eV-CLF bracket is a high-density D-subminiature 15-pin (DBHD-15
*
)
male connector. It is used to transmit/receive auxiliary signals for one of the
acquisition paths. By default, it carries the auxiliary signals for acquisition path 0;
if a jumper is installed on the 2-pin I/O acquisition path connector, the auxiliary
I/O connector carries the auxiliary signals for acquisition path 1.
❖ The auxiliary I/O connector on Matrox Solios eV-CLB and Matrox Solios eV-CLF
is not compatible with display devices. Connecting the DBHD-15 connector on
Matrox Solios eV-CLB or Matrox Solios eV-CLF to a VGA monitor or any other
display device might damage both the device and the board.
The pinout for the auxiliary I/O connector is as follows. TC stands for trigger
controller and acq. path stands for acquisition path. If the auxiliary signal is specific
to an acquisition path, it is received/generated by the PSG of that path.
If the auxiliary signal is not specific to an acquisition path, either PSG can typically
receive/generate the auxiliary signal; if there is a functionality that can only be
received/generated by a specific PSG, its acquisition path is indicated.
*. Sometimes referred to as DB-15, but more accurately known as DE-15.
