MX Control Card Configuration
Vicon MX Hardware System Reference A-11
Device 1 and Device 2 Option Cards
This section describes how to use the connectors that are available
on the MX option cards that can be installed and accessed from the
Device 1 and Device 2 slots in the rear panel of the MX Control:
• Analog Option
• Audio Option on page A-14
Important
These option cards may be factory installed. If they were not originally
ordered, the slot is covered with a blank panel. You can install one or more
of these cards, as appropriate, later.
For details on the functionality that these options for the MX Control
supports for connecting to external analog and audio sources, see
Chapter 4 MX Control.
Analog Option
To connect an analog ADC card in the MX Control to third-party
devices for capturing analog data, you must plug one end of the
supplied 100-way cable into the
Analog socket on the rear of the
MX Control and the other end into the Vicon patch panel. You may
need to create your own plug to connect the Vicon patch panel to your
analog devices, such as force plates, electromyography (EMG)
equipment, and potentiometers.
Important
There can be two analog ADC cards installed in an MX Control. Depending
upon the options you ordered for your Vicon MX system, your MX Control may
not have an analog ADC card installed. For details of how to integrate one
later, see Installing an MX Option Card on page A-16.
