Table 8: FXC FCL8-2 Cable (Ref. No. 3-0034-1L01) SubD9 cable assignment, second male connector
The FC Daisy Chain FR 2 Cable is available for the FL3X Interface-PMC. It connects 4
Sub-D jacks to the FlexCard. Therefore, four bus nodes may be connected. See Chapter
8.2 for ordering information.
3.5.3 Bidirectional Trigger Connectors on the Front Panel
For synchronization purposes, the FL3X Interface-PMC provides two 5V tolerant TTL-compatible trigger
connectors (Trig1 and Trig2, see Figure 2) on the front panel. The device has the ability to receive and
generate trigger events on both trigger connectors. This feature allows e.g., a synchronization of different
bus analyzing devices.
Physically, the triggers are MMCX-male-connector for coax-cables. The electrical characteristic of this output
is described in Table 9. The values are the same for a PCI slot with 3.3 V signaling and for a slot with 5 V
signaling.

Table 9: Electrical characteristic of trigger connections
Both trigger connectors can freely be configured by software to act as input or as output. The input trigger
can be programmed to work with rising or falling edges, while the output trigger of the FlexCard PMC-II is
always low-active.
Detailed information about how the trigger events are used with the
FL3X Interface-PMC can be found in the FlexCard API Documentation.
To connect the trigger output to a BNC-connector, the trigger line cable can be ordered at
STAR ELECTRONICS GmbH & Co. KG, see chapter 8.2 Accessory Parts.
3.5.4 LED Indicators on the Front Panel
Each bus channel on the front panel has two LED indicators for signaling different monitoring states: Red
and green. The information signaled by the LED depends on the mounted FlexTiny II at the corresponding
slot. When no LED is glowing, no FlexTiny II is mounted or no bus activity is detected. The LED states are
explained in the following table:
