Changing Output Configuration
Bit Resolution
See the section Image Format Control Category in Appendix A for GenICam features associated
with this section and how to use them
Relevant Features: Pixel Format
The camera can output video data as 8-bit or 12-bit format. 8-bit output allows for the maximum
specified line rate to be achieved. 12-bit data limits the maximum line rate to approximately 2/3
rd
of the maximum specified line rate, when using a single Camera Link HS cable. The maximum line
rate can be restored if the image data is split equally across two Camera Link HS cables.
Note: the Bit resolution parameter can only be changed when image transfer to the frame grabber
is stopped. Refer to the “Acquisition and Transfer Control’ category in the appendix for details on
stopping and starting acquisitions.
Camera Link HS Lane Selection
See the section Image Format Control Category in Appendix A for GenICam features associated
with this section and how to use them
Relevant Features: Next CLHS Devise Configuration
Each Camera Link HS cable includes 8 lanes. One lane is used to send command data from the
frame grabber to the camera. Seven lanes are use to send camera data to the frame grabber, one
of which carries both image and command response data. The camera can also support the use of
only 4 lanes, which allows standard fiber modules to be plugged into the camera, or 1 lane which
may be useful for diagnostic purposes.
Use the ‘Next CLHS Devise Configuration’ to select the desired lane configuration. Ensure that the
acquisition is stopped when performing lane configuration selection. The frame grabber must also
have the same lane selection.
Note that this feature also controls the cable selection.
Using Two CLHS Cables
See the section Image Format Control Category in Appendix A for GenICam features associated
with this section and how to use them
Relevant Features: Next CLHS Devise Configuration
The camera has two CLHS compliant connectors. Control / Data1 is assigned as the master with
Data 2 connector as the slave. Use the ‘Next CLHS Devise Configuration’ to select the desired
number of cables. This feature also controls lane selection.
Note that when using two cables with two frame grabbers both frame grabbers must be operational
before
the camera is powered ON. This ensures that the frame grabber master and slave
designations are correctly assigned by the camera. If both frame grabbers are configured for
master, then the frame grabber connected to the CONTROL / DATA 1 port will be assigned as the
master by the camera.
