TTL Inputs and Outputs
TTL is a fast-switching 5 V digital signaling standard commonly used
for applications that require high precision, such as camera triggering.
TTL inputs and outputs do not require a separate power supply.
Caution Do not connect voltage or current sources to TTL outputs. Doing so could
damage the NI 1450.
Table 4-1 summarizes the TTL inputs and outputs available on the NI 1450.
Isolated Inputs and Outputs
The isolated inputs and outputs on the NI 1450 have a separate ground
reference from the main NI 1450 supply, providing an easy means to
prevent ground loops that can introduce noise into a system. You can apply
signals up to 30 V to the isolated inputs. The voltage swing of the isolated
outputs is determined by the Viso you supply on the connector.
Table 4-2 summarizes the isolated inputs and outputs available on the
NI 1450.
