2 - Hardware Description

The U6 has 3 different I/O areas:

  • Communication Edge
  • Screw Terminal Edge
  • DB Edge

The communication edge has a USB type B connector (with black cable connected in Figure 2-1). All power and communication is handled by the USB interface.

The screw terminal edge has convenient connections for 4 analog inputs, both analog outputs, 4 flexible digital I/O (FIO), and both current sources. The screw terminals are arranged in blocks of 4, with each block consisting of Vs, GND, and two I/O. Also on this edge are two LEDs. One simply indicates power, while the other serves as a status indicator.

The DB Edge has 2 D-sub type connectors: a DB37 and DB15. The DB37 has some digital I/O and all the analog I/O. The DB15 has 12 additional digital I/O (3 are duplicates of DB37 I/O).
