What are the USER1 and USER2 BNC Connectors on the BNC-2090?

Hardware: Compact FieldPoint>>Connector Blocks

Problem: The BNC-2090 has two BNC connectors named USER1 and USER2. What is their purpose?

Solution: These two BNC connectors, along with their corresponding spring-loaded connector blocks, constitute the "user definable BNC connectors" as stated in the product documentation. The spring-loaded connector blocks are also named USER1 and USER2, respectively, and are part of the bank of spring-loaded connector blocks on the front panel.

The USER1 BNC is internally connected to the USER1 TERMINAL BLOCK, and USER2 BNC is internally connected to the USER2 TERMINAL BLOCK. These connectors give the user the opportunity to define a BNC connector (USER1 or USER2) by externally jumpering the corresponding terminal block and another pin on the terminal block that corresponds to the signal that has to be sourced/sinked from that particular BNC. For example, if you wanted to use the BNC connector USER1 to receive the SCANCLK signal, you would take a piece of wire and run it between the SCANCLK terminal block and the USER1 terminal block on the front panel.
