Capture: When configured for Excursion mode, pressing this button will begin data capture—the same as the Record/Recording button
on the Sodera Window Capture Toolbar. The Capture button is inactive when Sodera is connected to a computer . To operate in the
Excursion mode, the Sodera hardware must have been previously configured from the Frontline software prior to disconnecting from
the computer. The Sodera hardware will retain those configuration settings when disconnected from the computer. Refer to the
ComProbe Sodera User Manual for Excursion mode operating details.
2. Rear Panel Connectors
The rear panel is shown below. The panel provides connectors for external power, ProbeSync™, HCI, and for connection to the
computer hosting the Frontline software.
+12VDC: Connection to the Frontline supplied AC-to-DC power adapter, or a 12 VDC auxiliary vehicle outlet system can be used.
ProbeSync™ IN/OUT: Used for synchronizing multiple capture devices. Sodera can act as a clock source (master) device providing the
clock to synchronize timestamping with connected target (slave) devices. When operating as a master device the
provides the synchronizing clock. The synchronizing clock can be attached to a slave Frontline Sodera or a Frontline 802.11, for
example. When operating as a slave device, the
HCI USB 1/HCI USB 2:USB Type B and a USB Type A connectors allow capture of HCI USB data. HCI USB 1 and HCI USB 2 are
independent groupings of the Type A and Type B connectors. The HCI USB 1 connectors use the same Sodera unit internal interface as
the Sodera HCI POD1 UART pins. Likewise the HCI USB 2 connectors use the same internal interface as the Sodera HCI POD2 UART pins.
Therefore you cannot simultaneously capture USB and UART on the "1" interface or on the "2" interface. Refer to
USB Capture, on page 1
and to
PC HOST : USB 2.0 port for connecting Sodera to the host computer where the Frontline software resides. This connector provides host
computer command, control, and data transfer.
Note: At this time all other rear panel connectors are inactive.
