Vicon Lock Lab provides 64 channels of analog signal capture 
, made up from eight separate connectors, each carrying eight signals. Each connector can be portioned to connect to individual force plates. Each connector contains 16 individual connections, eight signal and their eight respective grounds.

Link Input/Output (IO) connectors
Vicon System Connector - Link The Link socket Anchor Vicon System Connector - Link Vicon System Connector - LinkViconSystemConnectorLink ViconSystemConnectorLink 
can be made to be an input under software control. Configured this way, it enables up to three Lock units to be synchronized with each other. When you expand a Lock system with additional Lock units, the Lock with a reference video signal or VESA input signal is made the sync source by the appropriate Vicon software. In this case the software controls which unit is primary and which unit(s) are secondary. The secondary unit(s) do not transmit the Vicon Ethernet sync and timestamp packet when acting in this mode.

The Gigabit Ethernet Port 8-pin RJ45 socket 
connects to an appropriate Vicon-supplied Ethernet switch that is also connected to Vicon cameras and the Vicon host PC directly, or through further switches. For examples of different topologies, see Vicon system configuration and connection examples.
As well as carrying all the communications to the appropriate Vicon software, the Lock Lab also receives its power over the same connections. Additionally, this port also transmits synchronization and time-stamping through special Ethernet packets to all other connected Vicon peripherals.

VESA Stereo In The 3-way, mini-DIN socket
provides the input to the VESA Stereo In signal. When selected as the genlock source by the appropriate Vicon software, the Lock unit locks to this signal.

To trigger capture by the Vicon system from a remote control device, you must configure your Vicon application software to use the device connected to the Remote Start and Stop sockets; for details on doing this, see the documentation for your Vicon software. For details on enabling third-party remote devices to trigger your Vicon system, see Add remote triggering devices to a Vicon system.
Remote start This RCA socket
provides the external input for the start of capture, which can be activated by momentarily connecting this input to ground through either a mechanical or electronic switch. Capture is started on the first frame boundary after this event is detected.Remote stop This RCA socket
provides the external input for stopping capture, which can be activated by momentarily connecting this input to ground through either a mechanical or electronic switch. Capture is stopped on the first frame boundary after this event is detected.
