See Appendix B for the complete DALSA Camera Link configuration table, and refer to
the DALSA Web site, vfm.dalsa.com, for the official Camera Link documents.
Digital Data
The camera digitizes internally to 10 bits and outputs either all 10 bits or the most
significant 8 bits in LVDS format on the Camera Link connector.
Note:
Due to flat-field correction calculations, certain digital numbers will be unavailable
when outputting 10 bits with flat-field correction enabled (i.e. you will experience
missing codes).
Data Clocking Signals
These signals indicate when data is valid, allowing you to clock the data from the camera
to your acquisition system. These signals are part of the Camera Link configuration and
you should refer to the DALSA Camera Link Implementation Road Map, available at ,
http://vfm.dalsa.com/docs/appnotes/00450-00_03-
32_DALSA_Camera_Link_Road_Map.pdf
, for the standard location of these signals:
Clocking Signal Indicates
LVAL (high) Outputting valid line
DVAL (high) Valid data
STROBE (rising edge) Valid data
IMPORTANT:
This camera’s data should be sampled on the
rising edge of STROBE.
See Appendix A for the complete Camera Link timing, DALSA Camera Link
configuration table, and refer to the DALSA Web site,

Input Signals
The camera accepts control inputs through the Camera Link MDR26F connector.
All inputs
are optional. The camera ships in exposure mode 2 (programmable line rate and exposure time).
All Camera Control (CCx) signals are in a logic HIGH state.
Line rate can be set internally using
the serial interface. Power-on rate is always 9600 baud. Data rate is always 40MHz. The
external control signals, EXSYNC and PRIN, are optional and enabled through the serial
interface.
PRIN
PRIN is an optional input signal used for exposure control (PRIN).
