88 Appendix B: Technical information
External auxiliary I/O connector 1 on cable adapter bracket
External auxiliary I/O connector 1 on the Matrox Solios eV-CLB and Matrox
Solios eV-CLF cable adapter bracket is either a high-density D-subminiature
15-pin (DBHD-15
*
) male connector or a standard D-subminiature 9-pin
(DB-9
†
) female 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 1; 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 0.
❖ The DBHD-15 auxiliary I/O connector on the bracket is not compatible with
display devices. Connecting the DBHD-15 connector on the bracket 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.
†. More accurately known as DE-9.
‡. If you purchase the SOLEVAACC01PAK* accessory kit, you obtain the cable adapter
bracket with the DB-9 connector. In this case, the DB-9 connector has the same
pinout as auxiliary I/O connector 1 (DB-9) on the adapter board of other Matrox
Solios eCL/XCL boards. Note however, when using the optional DB-9 connector,
some DBHD-15 signals are not available.
