Mastering the DB9 Vic and the Parallels

The Db9  in out connect 1 siingle VIC pcb and transformer to the GMS and other cards

I have circled red this plug connector .
if we can master the in outs of this simple plug

we can than consider my second post on this thread about paralleling them from switch box
===========================

Dan,

If you look at circuit diagram for Pulser Indicator Circuit (K14) there is 5V (VDD) into center of feedback coil.  This is missing from the diagram above.  This is one the things I have not tested yet.  I am building it into my feedback coil.  This is one of the items that I was not sure which way to wind coil this coil.  I am currently winding half the coil adding the 5 volt input then winding remaining half in same direction.  Note sure is this correct until I test it.

Looked at this some more.  It looks like there are 8 pins in use in the 9 pin connector.   At this the only input/output to/from attached card
Plus 12V  - input
GND (one common ground for all systems)
"A" from Gated Pulse Generator K3 - input
VEE  - output to Gate Generator K3 and other cards
"J"  - Analog signal from Analog Voltage Generator
VCC - Input ( I believe that I read this was from a separate source) in not then it is output to other cards
VDD - ?  Not sure if this is used only locally on this card or it is also source for other cards
10V - if VEE is not 10V then there needs to 10V input - needed in Resonant Scanning circuit K22 (bias voltage for rails)

I have lost track of which circuits are on the VIC card but this is what I think is on the connector

ok very good earl I am still focusing on a good detail explanation on the db 9

particular vee where it goes to so we lock in the details for people to see


Main 4 pin focus
GND (one common ground for all systems)  ok
"A" from Gated Pulse Generator K3 - input    ok
VEE  - output to Gate Generator K3 and other cards    not sure
"J"  - Analog signal from Analog Voltage Generator   ok

other pins
12v  ok
10v   ok
5v   ok

Summary

QUESTION 1
1)
GMS  db 9 out of Gms 
need to clarify exactly where vee come from on k3


QUESTION 2
=====================
2)
Vic Daughter board

seams to be 2 gates
need to clarify

which pin  exactly on vic is slot connector to which tip 120
which pin  exactly on vic is slot connector  to which tip 120

VCC = 12 volts
VEE = 10 volts (adjustable via LM317)
VDD = 5 volts

Figure 10 is wrong.  Hook things up according figure 1 block diagram.

So it looks to me like we need:

  The final portion of figure 3 from P1 on out to connector J, attached to figure 4.
  All of figure 4 connected to the primary high-side.
  All of figure 5 connected to the primary low-side.
  The input of figure 5 at connector G can be an inverted signal from your signal generator or
    It can come from figure 12, but will have no gating.
