Pulse Generator
Maps the internal pulse generator waveform to the output.
Strobe #1
Maps the Strobe 1 signal to the corresponding external output.
Toggle
Controls the active polarity of the output signal.

3.6.1.2 Output Signals for Ruggedized Camera Only
The following table lists the additional output signals available only on ruggedized camera
versions.
Output Signals
Description
Exposure Start
A short pulse (2µs) indicating the beginning of the camera exposure.
Exposure End
A short pulse (2µs) indicating the end of the camera exposure.
Mid Exposure
A short pulse (2µs) indicating the middle of the camera exposure.
H-Sync
A short pulse (2µs) synchronized with the camera line timing.
V-Sync
A short pulse (2µs) synchronized with the camera frame timing.
Odd/Even Frame Flag
A signal
based on the camera’s internal timing for
indicating either
odd or even frame. It alternates with every frame. If the output is set
as High, this is the even frame; odd is low.
Trigger Pulse
Maps the input trigger pulse to the output with no delay (as is).
Strobe #2
Maps the Strobe 2 signal to the corresponding external output.
Frame Pulse
Maps the Vertical Frame Transfer pulse.

3.6.2 Strobe Settings
You can use the strobe outputs to synchronize the camera to external lighting or for
triggering other devices.
The ruggedized camera provides two independent strobe pulses (strobe 1 and strobe 2),
The industrialized camera provides one strobe pulse.
Figure 45: Strobe settings.
When setting up a strobe, you must assign it to a frame. Use the Mode drop-down menu
to assign the strobe pulse to Each Frame, to Odd Frames, or to Even Frames. You can also
select to disable the strobe pulse.
