1. Connector Information

Just to the right of the top of the PC bracket, there is a two pin header
named JP800.  This is where the output signal of the system is generated.  An
illustration of this header and the use of its pins are described below.

Pin 1 – This pin contains the output signal.  The output signal is a square
wave with a low voltage of 0V and a high voltage of 2.5V.  The frequency of
the signal is set through the PCI interface.

Pin 2 – Ground

On the cable provided by SpinCore Technologies, Inc., one of the two lines
has stranded silver cable exposed.  This is the ground pin and should be
connected to pin 2 of the header.
