HIL Connect card overview

Definition of available HIL Connect cards.

Each HIL Connect has 8 slots for integrating cards that support specific interface capabilities. The list of all currently available cards is shown in Table 1.

Some of these cards can be configured on a hardware level, e.g. by toggling internal DIP switches. Click on the specific card to see the documentation page which provides more details.
