Note: Logic16 can be operated using either a DC power supply OR a NIM Crate.

⑨

External Clock Input

10 MHz external clock BNC input

⑩

JTAG Connector

JTAG link cable (e.g. JTAG-cable Xilinx, Xilinx parallel cable, HS2 Digilent)

3.2

Safety of Operation

Ensure the module is operated vertically, and that the air is free to flow through the cooling vents
in the top and bottom sides of the unit.
Never operate the module horizontally, or with covered air vents - this could lead to overheating
and cause damage.

NIM crate power supply

The modules are designed for operation within a NIM crate that is powered with a properly rated
and installed power supply. In particular, in order to ensure safe operation of the logic module
and any connected instruments or computers, it is critical that the NIM crate and its power supply
are connected to electric ground through the power connector, as required by the local safety
standards.

DC power supply

Only use DC regulated power supply which meets the safety standards in your respective
country and/or legal jurisdiction.

We also strongly recommend that the DC power supply is grounded when in use.

Disclaimer:

Neither Universal Quantum Devices nor DotFAST Consulting are responsible for any harm or damage
caused to or by Logic16 or any connected devices or instruments, in the case that (a) the unit is operated
outside of a NIM crate or DC power supply and/or (b) is powered by an incorrectly installed NIM crate or
DC power supply.
