RZ2 Display LCD
CAUTION!
To avoid potential damage, do not place any sharp objects near the RZ2
Display LCD.
The LCD display shows information about each DSP, the optical PC interface, the PZ preamplifier
and system I/O. A selection knob allows the user to highlight a section of the screen to display
more detailed information. Rotate the selection knob to select a system component. Once the
selection has been made, push the knob and expand the information view.

RZ2 Input and Output Ports
CAUTION!
The input and output ports located on the front panel of the RZ2 chassis
contain sensitive electronics.
Refer to the RZ2 Technical Specifications in
the System 3 Manual before making any connections.
The RZ2 is equipped with several different analog and digital I/O capabilities. The high speed and
legacy fiber optic ports allow a direct connection to Z-Series or Medusa Preamplifiers. The RZ2
also includes onboard D/A and A/D conversion for stimulus generation, experiment control, and
input of signals from a variety of other analog sources. Digital and analog source channels may be
accessed via standard 25-pin I/O connectors labeled Digital I/O and Analog I/O. Additionally,
digital source channels can be accessed through front panel BNCs marked Port A and Port C,
while analog source channels can be accessed through Port D and Port E respectively.
Refer to the
RZ2 User Guide in the System 3 Manual for more information.
Connecting the RZ2 Interface to your PC
Before connections can be made from the RZ2 to your PC, the PCI interface card must be installed
inside your PC.
For more information refer to Installing the Optibit Interface in the System 3
Installation Guide.
After the necessary connections have been made to your PC connections from the RZ2 to the
Optibit interface card are shown in the following diagram.
