12.5 Status Indicator (GigE cameras)
12.5 Status Indicator (GigE cameras)
Six LEDs on the back of the camera gives information about the current status of the GigE
CMOS cameras. LED S0, S1 and S2 (from left to right) are configurable. It can be selected,
which camera status information is shown by these LEDs (see Section 6.2 for the available
camera status signals).
LED designator Default function
LED S0 It pulsates, when the camera is not grabbing images. It means, the
intensity starts from dark and goes slowly to bright and slowly to dark
again.When the camera is grabbing images the LED blinks at a rate equal
to the frame rate. At slow frame rates, the LED blinks. At high frame rates
the LED changes to an apparently continuous green light, with intensity
proportional to the ratio of readout time over frame time.
LED S1 Indicates an active serial communication with the camera.
LED S2 dark, not used in default configuration

12.6 I/O Connector
12.6.1 Overview
The 12-pol. Fischer I/O connector contains two external single-ended line inputs, two external
single-ended line outputs.
The pinout of the I/O connector is described in Appendix A.
A suitable trigger breakout cable for Fischer 12 pol. connector can be ordered
from your Photonfocus dealership.
Simulation with LTSpice is possible, a simulation model can be downloaded from
our web site www.photonfocus.com on the software download page (in Support
section). It is filed under "Third Party Tools".
Fig. 12.2 shows the schematic of the input and output for the I/O interface. The input and
output are isolated.
