JAZ-ADP-GPIO Adapter
This accessory converts the 20-pin GPIO connector on Jaz DPUs manufactured on January 1, 2008 to
the mini-HDMI connector used by the Jaz DPU GPIO (Jaz DPUs manufactured after January 1, 2008).
The mini-HDMI connector provides additional functionality such as triggering.
Note
In addition to the mini-HDMI connector provided on the JAZ-ADP-GPIO Adapter,
additional firmware is necessary to use some of the new functions. Upgrading this
firmware may require an RMA to return the unit to the factory as shown below:
Module Firmware Version Field Upgradeable?
DPU Blackfin DPU-GPIO uImage 22-SEP-09 or newer Yes
DPU FPGA 0x0085 or newer No
Spectrometer FPGA 0x0093 or newer No
Attaching the JAZ-ADP-GPIO Adapter
► Procedure
1. Unpack the connector. Your package should contain the following:
One JAZ-ADP-GPIO
Four 2-56 x 3/16” Phillips head screws to attach the adapter to the DPU module in your
Jaz stack. (Only two screws are needed; two extra screws are provided.)

JAZ-CBL-DB15 Accessory Cable
The Ocean Optics JAZ-CBL-DB15 is an accessory cable for the Jaz DPU modules that contain the
DPU GPIO (DPUs dated after January 1, 2008) and DPUs that have the JAZ-ADP-GPIO attached.
This 12-inch cable connects the 19-pin mini-HDMI accessory connector on the Jaz DPU GPIO (or the
JAZ-ADP-GPIO Adapter) and terminates in a DB15 connector.
Connecting the Accessory Cable
► Procedure
1. Connect the accessory cable to the 19-pin mini-HDMI connector on the Jaz DPU module.
