Input Signals, Camera Link
The camera accepts control inputs through the Camera Link SDR26F connector. The
camera ships in internal sync, internal programmed integration (exposure mode 2), and
Camera Link mode 2.
EXSYNC
The EXSYNC signal tells the camera when to integrate and readout the image. It can be
either an internally generated signal by the camera, or it can be supplied externally via
the serial interface. Depending upon the mode of operation the high time of the EXSYNC
signal can represent the integration period.

details
how to set frame times, exposure times, and camera modes.
2.2.4
Output Signals, Camera Link
These signals indicate when data is valid, allowing you to clock the data from the camera
to your acquisition system. These signals are part of the Camera Link configuration and
you should refer to the DALSA Camera Link Implementation Road Map, available at
www.dalsa.com, for the standard location of these signals.

The camera internally digitizes to 10 bits and outputs the 8 most significant bits
(MSB’s) or all 10 bits depending on the camera’s Camera Link operating mode.
