Fig. 3.1 Rear panel connections
AUX IO
- This female 15-Pin D-type connector exposes a number of internal electrical
signals. For convenience, a number of logic inputs and outputs are included, thereby
eliminating the need for extra PC based IO hardware. Using the APT support
software, these user programmable logic lines can be deployed in applications
requiring control of external devices such a relays, light sources and other auxilliary
equipment - see Section A.2. for further details.
TRIG IN
– Reserved for future use, not implemented at this time.
TRIG OUT
– Reserved for future use, not implemented at this time.
USB
- USB port for system communications.
HANDSET IN -
Provides connection for the MZF001 Jopystick - see Section 4.8. and
INTERCONNECT
- For Future Use.
CH ID -
For channel selection when using the MZF001 joystick - see Section 4.8.
EXT IN (+) and EXT IN (-) (BNC connector)
– Used to control the output voltage
(open loop) or position of the piezo actuator(closed loop) from an external source.
These inputs allow a 0V to 10V input to drive the output to its full scale. This gives a
gain of 7.5 on the 75V range, 10 on the 100V range and 15 on the 150V range. The
Note
The USB cable length should be no more than 3 metres unless a powered USB hub
is being used.
