Matrox Indio connectors and signal names



This section serves as a reference to match Matrox Indio's connectors and auxiliary signals with MIL information, such as MIL auxiliary signal numbers. To set/inquire all the settings for this board's auxiliary signals (for example, signal routing and timer settings), use MsysControl() / MsysInquire(), respectively.

Auxiliary I/O signals can have one or more functionalities (for example, outputting the state of an I/O command register bit, timer output, or user output, depending on the signal). Their possible functionalities are described in their description in the pinout table below. Note that, unlike some other Matrox frame grabbers, there is no limit to the number of events that can be triggered simultaneously using the auxiliary input signals, nor is there a restriction on which auxiliary signal can be used to trigger the event.

Only those auxiliary signals that have matching MIL information are included in this section. For information on internal connectors and a comprehensive list of all available input and output signals, refer to the board's installation and hardware reference manual.

Board connectors
