Typical Application
A typical CLT-351R/L application is shown in Figure 1-5. A Camera Link
TM
camera is
connected to the CLT-351R using a standard Camera Link
TM
cable. The CLT-351R is
then connected to the frame grabber using an existing camera cable incorporating the
AIA-standard 68-pin connector.
Note: If the frame grabber incorporates the AIA interface and supports the serial link, a
standard low-cost SCSI cable may be used between the camera and the CLT-351R
The Camera Link
TM
“base” configuration camera in this example is, 8-bit, dual-channel,
area-scan with a 20MHz pixel clock.
The RS-422 frame grabber is programmed for area-scan, dual-channel, 8-bit mode. The
frame enable and line enable timing signals are conventional active-high, and data is
sampled using the rising clock edge. The pixel clock rate is set at 20MHz and video
timing is set to match camera characteristics.
Camera control signal CC1 is routed from the frame grabber, through the CLT-351R, to
the camera for use as an EXSYNC pulse, exposure control, etc. If a serial port is built-into
the frame grabber, it may be used to control and monitor camera functions. In some cases,
the camera cable between the frame grabber and the CLT-351R may break-out the serial
signals for connection to a separate serial communications port in the PC.
