Strobe Output
The Strobe Output is pin #2 ISO_STROBE. Use pin #6 ISO_GND as a ground signal. To use the Strobe Output, the
internal optocoupler must be powered with 5 to 15 VDC (STROBE_VDD). The ISO_STROBE signal is an open
collector output; therefore, the user must connect a pull-up resistor of e.g. 1 kΩ to STROBE_VDD. STROBE_VDD
must be supplied by the user. This resistor should be located directly at the signal receiver. Acceptable minimum
Strobe Output pulse width is 0.2 us. Maximum pulse width is half of frame period. For example, with 100 fps the half
would be 5 ms.
Caution:
Do not use CAMERA_PWR as STROBE_VDD as this disables the output protection circuit.
External Trigger Configuration
External triggering can be configured through power connector.
These instructions are for trigger configuration in Lumo Recorder or Lumo Scanner. If you are using Specim SDK or
ASCII, refer to the relevant documentation.
1.
Configure the external trigger source and connect the cables.
2.
Set external trigger on in Lumo.
3.
Set trigger source on low frame rate (for example 10 Hz)
4.
Check that the frame rate matches in Lumo live image.
5.
Change the frame rate in trigger source and make sure the change is shown in Lumo as well.
