External auxiliary I/O connectors

Zebra Rapixo CoF Product Reference Guide

The external auxiliary I/O connectors on the HD15 adapter cable and the cable adapter bracket are high-density D-subminiature 15-pin (HD-15) male connectors. The external auxiliary I/O connectors are used to transmit and receive auxiliary signals.

The auxiliary I/O connectors on Zebra Rapixo CoF are not compatible with display devices. Connecting one of the HD-15 connectors to a VGA monitor or any other display device might damage both the device and the Zebra Rapixo CoF board.

The auxiliary signals are path independent; regardless of the acquisition path that is being used to grab images, any of the auxiliary signals can be used.

The pinout for auxiliary I/O connector 0 is as follows. Auxiliary I/O connectors 1, 2, and 3 have the same pinout as auxiliary I/O connector 0, except you must add 8, 16, or 24, respectively, to the number at the end of their hardware signal name and Aurora Imaging Library constant. For example, AUX(TRIG)_TTL_IO_4 on connector 0 would be AUX(TRIG)_TTL_IO_12 on connector 1.
