5.7.2 I/O Control
The camera has 2 external inputs and 2 external outputs. In addition to these inputs
and outputs, the cameras with camera link output have two more inputs (CC1 and
CC2) and one output (CL Spare) available. The user can map all available internal
input and output signals to all external camera inputs and outputs – Figure 5.11.
Input
:
The user can map each of the camera inputs CC1, CC2, IN1 or
IN2 to all available internal input signals. 5 signals are available
for mapping. For each input the user can set the signal level to
active “High” or active “Low”.
1.
Computer trigger – maps CC1 or CC2 to the internal (CC)
computer trigger input.
2.
External Trigger – maps IN1 or IN2 to the external computer
trigger input.
3.
Exposure control – provides an external exposure control
signal. For proper operation set the “Exposure Control
Register” to “External”.
4.
H-Sync – synchronizes the camera line timing to the external
pulse. A continuous trail of pulses (one for every line) must
be provided. The camera uses only the pulse edge, but the
duration should be as short as possible. Min. duration - 50 ns.
5.
V-Sync – synchronizes the camera frame timing to the
external pulse. A continuous trail of pulses (one for each
frame) must be provided. The camera uses only the pulse
edge, but the duration should be as short as possible. Min.
duration - 2 us.
6.
Deselect – no signal is mapped.
