Interface overview
This section describes the various interfaces of the device. Main part of these interfaces can be
accessed via software APIs. These are described in the Software user guide and programmers guide.
5.1.
Storage memory
An industrial grade internal NAND flash memory is used for data storage. This makes the device
resilient to shock and vibrations which would be a problem when using mechanically rotating hard
disks.
The Flash module is industrial grade classified and has both static and dynamic wear levelling to
prevent premature wear-out and to extend the lifetime of the memory. Still it has a limited number of
write cycles. It is recommended that the amounts of writing to storage are limited within the software
applications.

Front panel
5.2.1.
Light sensor
There is a light sensor in the front panel used by user applications or used with the built in automated
function for dimming of the display brightness.
5.2.2.
Pushbuttons
Up to 8 software configurable pushbuttons are available depending on the CCpilot VC model. The
buttons may be used for user application input, turning the unit on/off or controlling the backlight;
refer to the software documentation for details.
5.3.
Buzzer
There is a buzzer in the front panel that can be used for audible notifications. The buzzer is application
controllable with configurable volume and frequency.
5.4.
Analog video inputs
The CCpilot VC device contains one analog video input used for attaching an analog video source such
as rear v iew- or surveillance camera.
The analog video input support PAL as well as NTSC video formats.
The cable which is used to connect the camera to the device shall be a 75 Ω coaxial cable, for example:
M17/94-RG179. Shielded cables shall be used to ensure electromagnetic compliance.
Depending on the installation, it could be necessary to separate video ground from the power supply
ground, by galvanic isolation on the video source side, to ensure sufficient functionality.
