TTL Inputs and Outputs
TTL is a fast-switching, 5 V, digital, signaling standard commonly used
for applications that require high precision, such as camera triggering.
TTL inputs and outputs do not require a separate power supply.
Caution Do not connect voltage or current sources to TTL outputs. Doing so could
damage the CVS-1450 device.
Table 4-1 summarizes the TTL inputs and outputs available on the
CVS-1450 device.
Isolated Inputs and Outputs
The isolated inputs and outputs on the CVS-1450 device have a separate
ground reference from the main CVS-1450 device supply, providing an
easy means to prevent ground loops that can introduce noise into a system.
You can apply signals up to 30 V to the isolated inputs. The voltage swing
of the isolated outputs is determined by the Viso you supply on the
connector.
Note The isolated outputs have current-limiting protection circuitry. If this circuitry is
tripped, you can re-enable the outputs by restarting the CVS-1450 device or by toggling
the output state in the software.
