Trigger and Strobe Expansion Panel
To connect trigger, strobe, and status lines, use the trigger and strobe expansion panel,
P/N 800-0062. Secure the expansion panel to an unused bus slot position on the PC’s
back panel. A 10-line ribbon cable extends from the expansion panel to the header at
position J1, in the upper right corner of the 8100.
The brown wire in the multi-colored ribbon cable must align with pin 1 on the 8100’s J1
header. Figure 7 shows the expansion panel and the pin numbering of the panel’s
DB-9F connector.
