ACDCU(0-7)
8 TTL outputs. Carries a high/low signal that enables/disables the MCE AC/DC converter.
MCE(0-7)
8 Fibre outputs. Carries a 50 MHz Manchester-encoded signal containing data packets, which include incremented sequence numbers. Programmable as two sets of 4 outputs with differently spaced data packets on each.
RTS-DV
TTL input. Detects falling edges from a Real-Time Sequencer (implemented by SCUBA2) which tells the Sync box when to tell the MCE's to collect data.
OPTO-TTL
TTL input, spare input to the command processor. ***Not currently used, and open for suggestions.
RS232 RxTx
TTL input and output, used to command the Sync Box from a PC.
DV Spare 1
TTL output. Carries a 5 MHz clock signal that is synchronous with DV Spare 2.
DV Spare 2
TTL output. Carries a 5 MHz data signal that is synchronized with DV Spare 1, and contains the same sequence numbers as the MCE(0-7) outputs. NOTE: This output only contains the DV info stream, but not the occurrences of Addr_Zero between DVs.
Polarimeter
TTL output. Carries a 5 MHz TTL signal that contains the same sequence numbers as the MCE(0-7) outputs.
FTS
TTL output. Carries a 5 MHz TTL signal that contains the same sequence numbers as the MCE(0-7) outputs.
TTL-IN
SMB TTL input, spare input to the FPGA. ***Not currently used, and open for suggestions.
TTL-OUT
SMB TTL output. Carries a 50 MHz clock signal.
