Camera Link output mode setting (S)
The parameter
S
controls how the camera outputs pixel data to the Camera
Link interface.

the various modes, see Chapter

Setting
Function
S=0
Default:
Single channel mode
(193 frames per second with line length of 2320 pixels)
The camera utilizes one Camera Link 80-bit channel in 10-tap
configuration. It allows only half of the maximum frame rate but
also produces less noise in the image because the sensor clock
frequency is reduced.
The preferred Camera Link connector pair for this mode is the left
channel O2 / O1, but the other pair (O4 / O3) also outputs all
pixel data. Please note that the CC signals and SerTC / SerTFG are
handled separately per channel. Thus e. g. the trigger source
selection (
T
) and serial port configuration (
s
) might need
adjustments if O4 / O3 are used. The
Bonito CL-400B/C 200fps
provides only one channel at the connectors CL1/CL2.
S=1
Dual channel mode
(
not
for Bonito CL-400B/C 200fps)
(386 frames per second with line length of
2 x 1160 = 2320 pixels)
The image is split vertically into a left and a right half. Thus each
half has a horizontal size of 1160 pixels and is output separately
via its own Camera Link 80-bit channel. The left half travels via
the left Camera Link channel at the connectors O2 / O1 and the
right half travels via O4 /O3 respectively.
S=3
Dual channel mode
(
not
for Bonito CL-400B/C 200fps)
(386 frames per second with line length of
2 x 1120 = 2240 pixels)
This mode basically is the same as
S=1
. For frame grabber com-
patibility reasons some pixel columns at the left and right side
(of the full image) are dropped so that the line length of each
half image is divisible by 16.
S=5
Same as mode 1, but with right image half via O2/O1 and left
image half via O4/O3 (if available).
