Note 1: General Inputs / External Trigger Inputs Specifications
Each of the four General Inputs are opto-coupled and able to connect to differential or single ended
source signals. General Inputs can also act as External Trigger Inputs. See “Board Information”
user settings. The inputs generate individual interrupts, which are read by the Sapera application.
The following figure is typical for each Genera Input.

Input Details:
•
Maximum input voltage is 26V.
•
Maximum input signal frequency is 100 KHz.
•
Each input has a 649-ohm series resistor on the opto-coupler input.
•
The 0.01uF capacitor provides high frequency noise filtering.
•
Minimum current is dependent on input voltage applied: Ioptoin(min) = (Voptoin - 0.5)/649Ω
•
The switch point is software programmable to support differential RS-422 or single ended TTL,
12V or 24V input signals.
For External Trigger usage:
•
Input signal is “debounced” to ensure that no voltage glitch is detected as a valid transition.
This debounce circuit time constant can be programmed from 1
µ
s to 255
µ
s. Any pulse smaller
than the programmed value is blocked and therefore not seen by the board. If no debounce
value is specified (value of 0
µ
s), the minimum value of 1
µ
s will be used.
