（１） LED P (green) lights up when power is turned ON, V (orange) and E (red)

are not used

（２） CH1～CH4 LEMO 00.250 compatible connector for signal input. Input range is ±1

V. Course gain is selectable from x1 and x3 from the application. Input

impedance is 50Ω.

（３） RESET Communication function reset switch.

（４） CLK-I LEMO 00.250 compatible connector for external clock signal input. It is

possible to synchronize with an external device by using an external

clock. (When using an external clock, see When using an external

clock below.

（５） CLK-O LEMO 00.250 compatible connector for external clock signal output.

Outputs 25MHz LVTTL signal with 50% duty cycle.

（６） GATE LEMO 00.250 compatible connector for external GATE signal input;

accepts LVTTL or TTL signals. Enables data acquisition while input is

High.

（７） VETO LEMO 00.250 compatible connector for external VETO signal input;

accepts LVTTL or TTL signals; disables data acquisition while high.

（８） CLR LEMO 00.250 compatible connector for external clear signal input;

LVTTL or TTL logic signal input; clears counter data, which is time

information at the time of event detection, at the rising edge of High.

（９） AUX LEMO 00.250 compatible connector for option. Outputs LVTTL OR

timing logic signals, etc. according to specifications.

（１０） LAN RJ45 connector for Ethernet cable. 1000Base-T.

* When external clock is used

With the power off, change the jumper JP17 to 1-6CPU on the board in the photo below,

input a 25MHz, 50% duty cycle LVTTL or TTL signal to CLK-I, and then turn the power on.
