Figure 1.1: Front and back panel of the TBT variant of our TDC cards. The interface at the front panel is the same as the interface of the respective TDC board.¶
1.1 Power requirements¶
It is possible to supply the device with sufficient power via the USB4 connector. If that is the case, the LED next to the USB4 port (see Fig. 1.1) lights up green and no additional power supply needs to be connected. If the LED lights up red, an external power supply is necessary.
Note
No external power supply is provided with the TBT variants of our TDC cards.
In case an external power supply is necessary, we recommend the MeanWell GSM40A15-P1J (15 V DC, 40 W, 2.67 A) power supply. However, any power supply providing 14–15 V DC @ 40 W with a plug as depicted in Fig. 1.2 is sufficient.
If the power supply connected to the EXT PWR socket is sufficient, the LED next to it will light up green. If a power supply is connected that does not provide sufficient power, the LED will light up red.
