A G E

The Forward direction is defined as detailed beside :

Note

: The delay for the Camera to

take in account a change in the
ScanDirection value is minimum

50ms

This information can be set
dynamically by using the

CC3 Trig

signal

of the CameraLink connector

(change the direction “on the fly”).

In these case, the Trigger level
signification is :



“0” : Forward.



“1” :

Reverse

The Forward/Reverse indication is required in the following cases :



The definition is 4k (Full definition) with a pixel of 5x5µm.



The definition is 2k, 1k or 512 Pixel (True Color) with a pixel of 10x10µm

and

the Line Interpolation is enabled
