MDR 26-Pin Connector
The MDR 26-pin connector provides reliable high-frequency transfer rates
between the camera and the acquisition device. To access this connector,
use a 3M Camera Link cable. Refer to the
section of
Appendix A,
, for additional information about Camera Link
cables, including available cable lengths and ordering information.
Figure 4-2 shows the IMAQ 1426 MDR 26-pin connector assignments.
Refer to Table 4-1 for a description of the MDR 26-pin and 15-pin D-SUB
signal connections.
Figure 4-2.

15-pin D-SUB Connector
The 15-pin D-SUB connector connects to general purpose digital I/O. The
general purpose digital I/O available on this connector includes four TTL
I/O lines, two optically isolated input lines, and two RS-422 input lines.
National Instruments provides a generic 15-pin cable assembly kit
(part number 190912-04) that breaks the connector out into 15 color-coded
wires for easy connectivity. Refer to the
section of Appendix A,
, for information about
ordering a cable assembly kit.
