Connecting to an STL Digital Switch Matrix
The MIDAS suite of hardware usually consists of a Digital Switch Matrix
from Signal Technologies Laboratories. The 16+clock bit digital signals are
brought in/out of the switch matrix on a 36 strand twisted pair ribbon cable.
These cables connect to a switch "transition panel" usually at the back of the
equipment rack. The SMS or SDN cables attach to the opposite side of the
transition panel.
A transition panel will also exist near the ICEPIC's computer. This panel
has a 40 pin interface and is available through ICE or STL. High density
ribbon cables that attach the ICEPIC to the panel are available through ICE.
A diagram of the connectors is posted on the www.ice-online.com website.
