Page 3: Adapters
1.1. Overview This manual describes the pin assignment of the PCIe adapters of the XIMEA xPlatform. The basic idea of these adapters is to connect PCIe devices (mainly cameras) with a computer (processing unit). The signal levels of the described connectors as well as the different cables (iPass, flat ribbon and Firefly) and their usage are not explained here. - Page 4 The principle connection of the signals from the flat ribbon / Firefly cables to the adapters is shown in the following figure (not all signals are available with all adapters - see above): Figure 1-1, principal signal connection cable / adapter ADPT-MX –...

Page 5: Flat Ribbon Cable Orientation
1.3. Flat ribbon cable orientation Several adapters are available in different versions, which differ in the orientation of the ribbon cable connections. The cables can be plugged into the connector either parallel (horizontal) (-FL versions) or vertical (-FV versions) to the adapter board. - Page 6 Turn power off and unlock the connector before inserting / detaching the cable to avoid any damage.
