PI-MTE System Manual 
Version 4.C 
POWER Switch and Indicator: The power 
switch location and characteristics depend on the 
version of ST-133 Controller that was shipped 
with your system. In some versions, the power 
switch, located on the front panel as shown in 
Figure 2, has an integral indicator LED that lights 
whenever the ST-133 is powered. In other 
versions, the power switch is located on the back 
of the ST-133 and does not include an indicator 
LED. 
Rear Panel Connectors: There are three 
controller board slots. Two are occupied by the 
plug-in cards that provide various controller

(ST-133A and ST-133B) 
functions. The third, covered with a blank panel, is reserved for future development. The 
left-most plug-in card is the Analog/Control module. Adjacent to it is the Interface 
Control module. Both modules align with top and bottom tracks and mate with a passive 
back-plane via a 64-pin DIN connector. For proper operation, the location of the modules 
should not be changed. Each board is secured by two screws that also ground each 
module’s front panel. The connectors and functions located on the rear panel are further 
are described on the following page. Removing and inserting boards is described in 
Chapter 7, page 74. 
To minimize the risk of equipment damage, a module should never be removed or 
installed when the system is powered.
 
The Analog/Control Module, which must always be located in the left-most slot, 
provides the following functions. 
  Pixel A/D conversion 
  Timing and synchronization of readouts 
  CCD scan control 
  Temperature control 
  Exposure control 
  Video output control 
The Interface Control Module, which must always be located in the center slot, 
provides the following functions. 
  TTL In/Out Programmable Interface 
  Communications Control (TAXI or USB 2.0 protocol) 
Always turn the power off at the Controller before connecting or disconnecting any cable 
that interconnects the camera and controller or serious damage to the CCD may result. 
This damage is NOT covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
