QX-1 Connectors
Connector T on the QX-1 Interface Device is the Trigger connector.
Connectors 1, 2, and 3 can be used to bus power and data as required by the application.
The connectors on the QX-1 interface device physically mirror those on the imager, but they
do not have explicit pin assignments. The QX-1 connectors take on the communications and
power roles that are assigned to them.

QX-1 Wiring Diagram
Connectors 1 and 3 are 12-pin plugs, and Connector 2 is a 12-pin socket. All three
connectors can be assigned to bus power and data.
The two switches at the center of the device allow the user to route signals as needed.
The simple diagram above (also shown on the base of the QX-1) illustrates how power,
communications, I/O, and trigger signal can be routed through the QX-1 device.
Power can be bussed between imagers and interface devices. At each location on a
network where a new power supply is added, the Power switch on the QX-1 can be
used to break power between Connector 2 and Connectors 1, 3, and T.
The Trigger signal between Connector 2 and Connectors 1, 3, and T can be broken
using the Trigger switch. This isolates trigger signals as required.
