Introduction
Additional options
Extra I/O (Option -XMF)
With this simple-to-use enhancement
it is possible to control a wide range
of external instruments or other
equipment. Therefore you have 24
digital I/O and the 4 analog outputs
available.
The extra I/O option is useful if an
external amplifier should be con-
trolled, any kind of signal source
must be programmed, an antenna
must be adjusted, a status informa-
tion from external machine has to be
obtained or different test signals
have to be routed to the board.
The additional inputs and outputs
are mounted on an extra bracket.
The figure shows the allocation of
the two connectors. The shown option is mounted exemplarily on a board with two modules. Of course you can also combine this option as
well with a board that is equipped with only one module.
It is not possible to use this option together with the star hub or timestamp option, because there is just space for
one piggyback module on the on-board expansion slot.
Extra I/O (Option -XIO)
With this simple-to-use enhancement
it is possible to control a wide range
of external instruments or other
equipment. Therefore you have 16
digital I/O and the 4 analog outputs
available.
The extra I/O option is useful if an
external amplifier should be con-
trolled, any kind of signal source
must be programmed, an antenna
must be adjusted, a status informa-
tion from external machine has to be
obtained or different test signals
have to be routed to the board.
The additional inputs and outputs
are not mounted on an extra
brakket, but are available on an in-
ternal connector. The figure shows the position of this connector on the bottom side of the extra I/O piggy-back module. The shown option
is mounted exemplarily on a board with two modules. Of course you can also combine this option as well with a board that is equipped with
only one module.
It is not possible to use this option together with the star hub or timestamp option, because there is just space for
one piggyback module on the on-board expansion slot.
