These signals may be internally connected to the sensor's I/O ports in var-
ious ways. The most common configurations are programmed into
Northstar's standard sensors. Custom configurations may be available in
OEM quantities.
Pins 11, 23, and 24 on the 25-pin data/power connectors let you select a
configuration (each pin is pulled up internally and should be either left
unconnected or connected to ground). The eight standard configurations
are shown in Table 7 below, which lists one to three standard configura-
