PL-A633, PL-A634, PL-A653 and PL-A654 imaging modules are each equipped with a
16-pin Enhanced Control header. This header—shown in Figure 2.9 (on page 12)—can
be connected to external devices such as a flash, trigger or I²C devices. The header
pinouts are listed in Table 2.2 (on page 12) for PL-A653 and PL-A654 imaging modules,
and in Table 2.3 (on page 13) for PL-A633 and PL-A634 imaging modules.
