20 Chapter 1: Introduction
• Auxiliary, multi-purpose signals, which can be configured as user-defined signals,
or to some other functionality depending on the auxiliary signal (for example, as
trigger input, field polarity input, timer-clock input, or exposure output signals).
The number of signals each board supports is given in the table below.
• Matrox Solios eA/XA also has a bi-color LED per timing and control section to
monitor PLL operation and sychronization signal input. Matrox Solios
eA/XA Quad has a total of four LEDs, Matrox Solios eA/XA Dual has two LEDs,
while Matrox Solios eA/XA Single has one LED.
• All Matrox Solios eCL/XCL boards

DB-9 connector from the SOLCLBACCxxPAK accessory kit, less auxiliary signals are available (see the pinout of the auxiliary
I/O connector in Appendix B: Technical information).
