type). The 5V power supply is provided by the DUAL ABZ board, its level of current is limited to 250mA per
encoder. Each board has External Encoder Latch signals that can be used for with the encoders. The connector
used on the DUAL ABZ board is of the female SubD 25 point type.
These boards are installed in the computer (see figure 4.11, rep. (11)).
