Connecting External Signals to the X64 Xcelera-HS
PX8
Two connectors are provided for external signals. J1 (see below) is located on the board bracket
and provides a subset of the available signals (one trigger input, one general input, one strobe
output, and shaft encoder inputs), while the internal connector J4 (J4: External Signals Connector)
provides all the I/O signals available with the X64 Xcelera-HS PX8. The following two sections
define the pin-outs for these connectors, followed with the electrical specifications.
J1: CMD15 Male External Signals Connector
This connector provides the commonly used external signals, such as external trigger and strobe
output directly from the board bracket.
The following table defines the signals and the connector pinout. Also included is the wiring color
code for the blunt-end cable available from Teledyne DALSA, (cable assembly OR-X8CC-IO15P,
see Product Part Numbers). Important: These signals are also available on J4. Connect to one or
the other but never both when using the same signal.
