OPERATING AND USER MANUAL QUARTZ SERIES

Ten tap Camera Link output format

9.6.6.

In addition to the 2, 4 and 8 tap Camera Link configurations, a 10 tap output architecture can be
selected. Refer to chapter 11 for more information on the 10 tap implementation.

Command format: TTFx

Command format: TTF?

Return Message: x

Where x indicates the interface speed:

x = 1 equals implementation according table 12.1 (refer to chapter 12)
x = 2 equals implementation according table 12.2 (refer to chapter 12)

NOTE:

At 10 tap Camera Link format, the output resolution of a pixel is limited to 8 bit and the

horizontal resolution is limited to 2000 pixels.

NOTE:

currently only mode 2 is implemented.
