Matrox Solios eCL/XCL acquisition section 63
Auxiliary signals and camera control signals
Matrox Solios eCL/XCL supports multi-purpose auxiliary input and output
signals. Auxiliary signals are non-video signals that can be controlled and support
one or more functionalities depending on the auxiliary signal (for example, as
trigger input or timer output signals). As mentioned previously, for each
independent acquisition path, the board also supports four camera control output
signals, which are configurable signals that can support one or several functions,
one of which is user-defined. The table in the previous subsection identifies the
functions to which an auxiliary signal/camera control signal can be defined. You
specify their function in the DCF file.
Matrox Solios eCL/XCL-B has auxiliary/camera control signals in the following
formats:

*. This is the number of auxiliary signals available when using the DBHD-15 auxiliary I/O connector; if replaced
with the optional DB-9 connector from the SOLCLBACCxxPAK accessory kit, less auxiliary signals are avail-
able (see the pinout of the auxiliary I/O connector in Appendix B: Technical information).
