11.5 General Purpose Outputs (GPOUT)
11.5.1 Introduction
The General Purpose Outputs (GPOUT) are used to control external hardware (e.g.
strobes, stages, etc.). Each GPOUT has a pin on the I/O connector. The level on this
pin can be controlled either statically via a GPOUT register, or dynamically via one of
the on-board signal generators.
There are three different electrical types of GPOUTs: TTL, Differential (LVDS) and
Open Collector. Each type is described in more detail below. See the IO connector
pin-out tables to determine which signals are on which pins.
Not every frame grabber family has the same number and type of GPOUTs, please
see Chapter 13 for details
11.5.2 GPOUT Open Collector Drivers
The GPOUT open collector driver circuit can be used in two different ways. The circuit
can be used to drive a opto-coupled circuit (see Figure 11-3, default configuration) or
the circuit can be used to drive and opto-coupled circuit with galvanic isolation (see
Figure 11-4). Jumpers are used to configure the driver circuits. See the Mechanical
chapter on where and how the jumpers are used.
