64 Chapter 4: Matrox Solios hardware reference
Matrox Solios eCL/XCL dual-Base/single-Medium and eCL/XCL-F
The following tables summarize the synchronization, timing, and control signals
supported by Matrox Solios eCL/XCL dual-Base/single-Medium and Matrox
Solios eCL/XCL-F. For example, P0_TTL_AUX_IO_0 can be defined for
acquisition path 0 as exposure output signal 2, trigger input signal 0, field polarity
input signal 0, user-defined input signal 2, or user-defined output signal 2. Note,
signals defined for acquisition path 1 do not apply to the single-Medium and
single-Full configurations. CL connect. stands for Camera Link connector.

1. The maximum # for each signal type cannot always be attained. The actual maximum depends on whether the required auxiliary signals are available or have been
defined as another type.
2. On external auxiliary I/O connector 0 (DB-44).
3. On external auxiliary I/O connector 1 (DB-9).
4. Note that a rotary encoder (starting with Matrox Solios XCL Version 100) with quadrature output transmits a two-bit code. The table entries, therefore, denote bit posi-
tion.
