E E.1 Overview This appendix is intended to assist customers and Plexon personnel with questions and advice regarding cabling their Plexon NDAQ/CinePlex Version 3 (NDAQ/CPX) combination systems. Before beginning the installation, it is important to determine that the Personal Computer on which the installation will be done meets the minimum system requirements. In general, for a MAP/CPX system, this means at least Windows XP Service Pack 3 computer running on an Intel Core 2 Duo processor operating at 3 GHz with three GB of memory, and a 9600 GT video card. FireWire (IEEE 1394) capability must be installed. If two cameras will be used, a dual bus FireWire card is needed. Any computer supplied by Plexon for a MAP/CPX system will meet minimum requirements. Contact Plexon support (support@plexon.com) to obtain more detailed current requirements. The first section is a high-level diagram of the cabling needed. The second section contains more detailed photographic and pictorial representations of the cable connections needed for several standard MAP/CPX system configurations. The third section contains photographs of the cables to facilitate identification. The fourth section contains close-up images of cables plugged into their sockets. Plexon’s goal is to enable the interconnection of the various CinePlex Version 3 components on the MAP/CPX system. Plexon hopes that this procedure solves cabling issues for most installations. Plexon welcomes feedback as to how to improve the experience. Pleas contact Plexon support (support@plexon.com, +1 214 369 4957) with comments. E-2 CinePlex
E.2 Typical MAP/CPX Cabling Diagram There are five cables and wires over and above those needed for normal MAP operation: • Universal timing cable between the TIM Cable Adaptor and the Access IO Adaptor. • Sync start wire from the TIM Cable Adaptor to the XS2 BNC connector. • Trigger cable(s) from the CinePlex Access IO Adaptor to the video camera(s). • FireWire cable(s) from the FireWire card in the computer to the video camera(s). Note: Plexon supplies the Trigger and FireWire cables bundled together with plastic tiewraps. This combination is referred to as a Combination Cable on the following pages. • Optional (for customers purchasing the Behavior option) cable from a USB port on the computer to the Digital Output unit. Below is a high-level block diagram of the cables and wiring required for correct operation of a MAP with its associated CinePlex Version 3 installation. The cables and wires are shown in black.
