*) If the pin is connected to ground, the software recognizes that at least one connector is connected to the UserPort2.
**) The position of the two switches on the UserPortAdapter inside the RT-PC must switch thrown towards enclosure = default position.
Timing of the synchronization signals Stack out, Line out and Frame out
These signals are directly generated by the hardware and cannot be influenced by the software. They are
also not seen by the user software and cannot be used to generate any markers within the image
acquisition. They are highly precise tools to control external hardware. The signals are precise to the pixel
and depending on the chosen pixel time the time between the signal and the start of the image
acquisition varies.
The Line, Frame and Stack OUT signal is each set 16 pixels before the first image pixel of each line.
The signal itself is identical to the signal of the pixelclock but is only set for one pixel.
The Grabbing signal OUT is set to high-level with the start of data grabbing and set to low-level with the
stop of data grabbing for each line.
The Stack OUT signal is provided at the beginning of each Z-Stack if the Z-Stack is acquired with
a Z-Piezo device (Z-Piezo stage frame or objective Piezo device)
