136 Appendix B: Technical information
To build your own cable, parts can be purchased from:
External auxiliary I/O connector 0
External auxiliary I/O connector 0 is a high-density D-subminiature 44-pin
(DBHD-44
*
) female connector, located on the bracket of the LVDS cable adapter
board. This connector interfaces with the 50-pin internal auxiliary I/O connector
on the board. This connector is used to transmit/receive auxiliary signals; these
signals can be used to route synchronization, trigger, timer, or user signals.
The pins for auxiliary signals carry unidirectional signals, unlike those for
synchronization signals on the DVI connector. This means that using this
connector, the board can both transmit and receive synchronization signals at the
same time.
24 P2_RS232_RxD RS-232 serial input to acq. path 2 of
frame grabber (UART).
C1 P0_VID_IN_B Video input B for acq. path 0 (AC/DC).
C2 P1_VID_IN_B Video input B for acq. path 1 (AC/DC).
C3 P2_VID_IN_B Video input B for acq. path 2 (AC/DC).
C4 P3_VID_IN_B Video input B for acq. path 3 (AC/DC).
C5 GND Ground.
C6 GND Ground.
M1 GND Ground.
M2 GND Ground.
*. Note that only signals defined for acquisition path 0 (those that begin with P0) and the grounds (GND) apply to the Matrox Solios eA/XA Single
board. Only signals defined for acquisition paths 0 and 1 (P0 and P1) and the grounds (GND) apply to the Matrox Solios eA/XA Dual.
†. 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 MilSoliosAnalogIOConversionTable within MIL Release Notes.
