MX Control Card Configuration
Vicon MX Hardware System Reference A-17
Remote
To remotely trigger data capture on the Vicon MX system or to send
synchronization signals, you must do one of the following:
• Create your own external switch or photoelectric sensor to trigger
the remote capture, and connect it to the Remote socket on the
MX Control.
• Create your own synchronization interface, and connect it
between the Remote socket on the MX Control and your external
device.
• Connect the MX Control to an MX Sync, which provides an
interface to both remote triggering and synchronization
functionality, and then connect the MX Sync to the external
device. For details, see Chapter 8 MX Sync.
If you create your own interface, you must use a Lemo
FGG.1B.307.CLAD52 mating plug. This section describes the circuitry
involved and the electrical specifications.
Remote Pin Allocations
Table A-7 shows the allocations for the 7 pins in the Remote socket
(GPO=General Purpose Output).
Of these seven pins, your external switch is concerned with the two
control input pins (3 and 5) and the ground pin (7). In order to start
a remote capture, your external switch must force pin 3 to GND (that
is, short circuit it). In order to stop a remote capture, your external
switch must force pin 5 to GND. Figure A-3 page A-18 illustrates the
