15-pin D-SUB ConnectorThe 15-pin D-SUB connector connects to general purpose digital I/O. The
general purpose digital I/O available on this connector includes four TTL
I/O lines, two optically isolated input lines, and two RS-422 input lines.
National Instruments provides a generic 15-pin cable assembly kit
(part number 190912-04) that breaks the connector out into 15 color-coded
wires for easy connectivity. Refer to the 15-Pin D-SUB Cable
Specifications section of Appendix A, Cabling, for information about
ordering a cable assembly kit.
If you require twisted pair wiring, you must build a custom cable. Refer to
the connector pin assignments in Figure 3-3 and the 15-Pin D-SUB Cable
Specifications section of Appendix A, Cabling, to build a custom cable for
the 15-pin D-SUB connector.
