The Base Extra i/o option adds
eight digital I/O lines usable as asynchronous I/O and/or timestamp ref-clock and additional
external trigger lines.
Eight MMCX connectors are placed on the base board and
one additional bracket with 8 SMB connectors are included.
Applications:
• reading / writing status information to other equipment • controlling other equipment within an OEM product • extra triggers and time stamp signalling
The i/o direction of the digital XIO signals can be set in groups of four:
Driving capabilities and input levels
•Used as inputs: TTL compatible (high > 2.0V, low < 0.8V) •Used as outputs, LVTTL 3.3V with max. 32 mA per pin (Upon request available as 2.5 V outputs)
Using BaseXIO Lines for Extra Options
The four lower lines are set to input direction, the upper lines can be programmed as input or output.
Inputs are then used as reference clock signal for timestamp and as two additional external triggers.
