Using The Matrox Breakout Board; Routing A Signal From A Third Party Device To Your Matrox Iris Gt - Matrox Iris GT with MIL Manual

Using the Matrox breakout board

The following instructions detail using the Matrox breakout board with the
version of Matrox Iris GT that supports 5 V auxiliary input signals. For the
instructions pertaining to the Matrox breakout board with the version of Matrox
Iris GT that supports 24 V auxiliary input signals, refer to the Routing input signals
to Matrox Iris GT section, in Appendix F: The Matrox breakout board.

Routing a signal from a third party device to your Matrox Iris GT

You can route a signal from a third-party device to your Matrox Iris GT. To do
so, perform the following:
1. Connect the power and the digital I/O signals of your Matrox Iris GT to the
breakout board by following the steps in the Powering and connecting to your
Matrox Iris GT section, in Appendix F: The Matrox breakout board.
2. Connect an open-wire cable from the third-party device to the
Matrox breakout board's input connector.
To adjust for the various current requirements of trigger and auxiliary input
signals, a serial resistor must be added between the third-party device and the
Matrox breakout board's input connector.
