2.2.8. MCDL / RS422 Cable (Optional)
The APX RS has connectivity with Photron MCDL (Multi-Channel Data Link) unit
(optional). The waveform data output (up to 4 channels of analog data and up to 6
channels of digital data) from MCDL is sampled and recorded together with image data.
The RS422 port is the interface to control the APX RS using RS422 communication
protocol.
The MCDL and RS422 signal lines are combined into one composite cable, whose
details are shown below:
