2.1 Installation Overview
In order to set up your camera, you should take these initial steps:
1.
Power down all equipment.
2.
Following the manufacturer’s instructions, install the frame grabber (if applicable).
Be sure to
observe all static precautions.
3.
Install any necessary imaging software.
4.
Before connecting power to the camera, test all power supplies.
Ensure that all the correct voltages
are present at the camera end of the power cable
(Refer to the Camera Performance Specifications
on page 7). Power supplies must meet the requirements defined in section 2.4 Power Input.
5.
Inspect all cables and connectors prior to installation. Do not use damaged cables or
connectors or the camera may be damaged.
6.
Connect data, serial interface, and power cables.
7.
After connecting cables, apply power to the camera. The POST (power on self test) LED on
the back of the camera should glow green after one second to indicate that the camera is
operating and ready to receive commands.
2.2 Input/Output
The camera provides 12-bit LVDS data and synchronization signals through the data output
connector. Camera functions such as integration time, camera gain and offset are all controllable
by the user via the RS232 serial port. The camera is capable of free running operation or may be
triggered externally via the input TRIGGER IN. TRIGGER OUT allows the synchronization of
shutters or illumination sources in free running or externally triggered modes.
This installation
