The SXVR-H814 accessory ports

The SXVR-H814 is provided with two ports for use with accessories. The Autoguider
output port is a 6 way RJ11 socket, which is compatible with the standard autoguider
input of most telescope mounts. It provides 4 active-low opto-isolator outputs and a
common return line, capable of sinking a minimum of 5mA per output. This socket
may be used for telescope control if the SXVR-H814 is employed as an autoguider,
but is primarily intended to be the control output for the optional add-on autoguider
camera head, available for use with the SXVR-H814.
