Display Connection
We do not supply test signal cables with the 801G*.
Most displays come with cabling for a particular
computer. This cabling will usually be compatible
with one of the connectors on the 801G*. If not, you
can construct your own test cables using the infor-
mation in this section.
D-Sub Output Connectors
The 801GC and 801GX have four D-Sub output con-
nectors as shown in figure 5-1. The 801GF has three
connectors. These connectors follow common indus-
try-standard pinouts as shown on in table 5-1. Here
is a quick summary of the connectors:
• (801GC and 801GX Only) A single 9-pin re-
ceptacle is provided for driving IBM-standard
MDA, CGA, and EGA (TTL video) displays.
The exact configuration of the signals that exit
from this connector vary depending on the
format selected.
• A 13W3 receptacle is provided for driving
analog video monitors that work with SUN
workstations. This type of analog video con-
nector may also be found on some versions of
Apple computers.
• A 15-pin high-density receptacle is provided
for driving VGA analog displays that comply
with IBM and / or VESA standards.
• A 15-pin receptacle is provided for driving most
Apple compatible displays. This connector fol-
lows Apple Macintosh II display standards for
analog video outputs.
