Interfaces Overview
All of VersaPNT's interfaces are integrated into the unit's connectors, which are located on the front panel:
VersaPNT front panel connectors
Note: VersaPNT is highly configurable and the connections can be adjusted many different ways. Your interface configuration may vary based on options you selected during the ordering process.
The following interfaces are provided:
