Connecting Your
CoolSNAP
Camera
The DATA cable connects your CoolSNAP camera to the CoolSNAP PCI card.
This cable is identifiable by its 20-pin connectors. It is designed to serve as a
conduit for data.
To connect your CoolSNAP camera:
1. Connect either end of the DATA cable to the CoolSNAP PCI card that you
have installed in the host computer.
2. Connect the other end of the DATA cable to the DATA connector located
on the back of the camera (shown below).
The following connectors are located on the back of the CoolSNAP camera:
• DATA connector: 20-pin, high-density connector for data transfer.
• POWER connector: 5-pin, LEMO connector for camera power (see POWER
Connector Pinout on page 19 for details).
• I/O connector: DB26, high-density connector for input/output control
signals (see I/O Connector Pinout on page 20 for details).
Note: CoolSNAP cameras draw power from the PCI bus via the PCI card. Therefore, the
computer must be powered on for the CoolSNAP camera to operate.
