5 OVERVIEW OF THE PHOTON ELECTRICAL INTERFACE

Depending on connector type, either a 15-pin HD D-Sub or a 30-pin SAMTEC, thru which
input/output signals are available on the back of the Photon camera.
The 15-pin high density or HD D-Sub connector pin definitions are shown in Table 2. The
signals on this connector include input power, analog video output, serial communication
channel for command and control and the digital data output.
