Installing the PCM-QUAD02
2. To test your installation and configure your board, run the InstaCal utility you installed in the previous
section. Refer to the Quick Start Guide that came with your board
for information on how to initially set up and load InstaCal.
External connections, input configuration and control
You can connect to the PCM-QUAD02 in one of two ways:
Use a standard AMP 15-pin I/O PCMCIA connector and non-terminated cable, such as the
PCM-C15-10-
INCH
. Details on this product are available on our web site at
Use a standard AMP 15-pin I/O PCMCIA connector with cable which is mated to a screw terminal board,
such as the
PCM-TERM15
. Details on this product are available on our web site at
Pin assignments for both single-ended and differential connections are described below.
Note
Be sure to properly phase the encoder according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
