LEDs and Connectors for the Tachometer Option

Status LEDs

￿Fail: This is the standard VXI “Failed” indicator. It lights briefly when powering up and normally goes out after a few seconds. If it stays on it indicates a hardware failure in the module.

￿Acs: This is the standard VXI “Access” indicator. When it is on, it indicates that another device on the bus is contacting the module, for example to transfer data or read registers.

￿Trigger: This LED flashes on each time an edge is detected on the tachometer signal, so when it is blinking it indicates that the tachometer signal is on. (For a VT1433B that does not have the Tachometer option, this LED is defined differently.)

SMB Connectors

￿Tach1: This is one of the two tachometer inputs. Tach1 cannot be configured as an external trigger.

￿Tach2: This is the second of the two tachometer inputs. Tach2 can also be configured (via software) to be an external trigger input

￿ExTrig: This allows for an external trigger input to the VT1433B. The input signal must be TTL, other characteristics can be defined in software. ExTrig can be enabled or disabled in software.

Input Connectors (One or Two)

These connectors are attached to the cables from an 8-Channel Input (breakout box) — two input connectors for each 8-Channel Input). They connect the input signal to the VT1433B. Each connector carries four channels. Depending on options, there can be one or two input connectors (four or eight channels).
