CONTROL I/O
- (15-Pin D-Type, Female) The ‘CONTROL I/O’ connector exposes a
number of electrical signals useful for external control. It is possible to configure a
particular controller to respond to trigger inputs (see Section A.1.4.), generate trigger
outputs (see Section A.1.3.) or both respond to and generate a trigger output - see
Section 5.3.3. Motor jogging lines can be used to jog the motor in both forward and
reverse directions from a remote handset (Jogging parameters (e.g. jog distance) are
set via the GUI panel - see Section 5.3.1.)
Note
The USB cable length should be no more than 3 metres unless a powered
USB hub is being used.
