Connectors on Matrox Solios eCL/XCL dual-Base/single-Medium and eCL/XCL-F boards 127
External auxiliary I/O connector 1
External auxiliary I/O connector 1 is a standard D-subminiature (DB-9
*
) female
connector, located on the bracket of the cable adapter board. It is used to
transmit/receive auxiliary signals. It interfaces with the 50-pin internal auxiliary
I/O connector on the board, making the I/O signals accessible outside the
computer enclosure.
The pinout for this connector is as follows.

*. These MIL constants represent the signals as of MIL 10. The signals that were previously represented by M_HARDWARE_PORTn became rep-
resented by M_AUX_IOn (where the value of n remained the same between the constants). For a complete list of changes between previous MIL
versions and MIL 10, see MILSoliosCameraLinkIOConversionTable within MIL Release Notes.
