Setting digital connections:
a. Set the I/O voltage selector switch to the desired voltage LVTTL (3.3V) or TTL
(5V).
b. Connect the TTL or LVTTL devices to the wire ends of FCBL-10-1+ or similar IDC
cable and connect the cable's IDC connector to the 10 pin IDC connector in the front
of the control box (note current limits specified per byte and per individual line).
c. Connect the high voltage devices to the wire ends of FCBL-14-1+ or to similar IDC
cable and connect the cable's IDC connector to the 14 pin IDC connector in the front
of the control box.
d. If Relay outputs are required, connect them before connecting the USB cable -
otherwise use the supplied USB-CBL-AB-3+ cable or similar USB cable to connect
the control box's USB socket to the computer's USB bus (note the LED indicator
color, red=5V, yellow=3.3V).
