Pin Assignments
Table 1 shows the pin assignments for the connectors on the IMAQ A8014
cable.
Triggering
You can use the IMAQ A8014 cable for applications requiring precise
triggering or exposure control. In addition to connecting the video signal
between the camera and the IMAQ 1409/1410 device, the IMAQ A8014
cable also connects the camera control lines on the IMAQ 1409/1410 to the
exposure and trigger inputs on the camera. The IMAQ 1409/1410 can then
be programmed to generate precise timing pulses for controlling the
camera.
Tip
Visit the National Instruments Camera Advisor Web site at
ni.com/camera
for
application notes and sample code for many of the cameras the IMAQ A8014 supports.
