J2 HS-Link Input / J3 HS-Link Output Connectors
For the HS-Link connectors, pin-outs are not provided. Camera connections should be made with
manufactured cables such as recommended by Teledyne DALSA (see Product Part Numbers).
HS-Link Camera Control Signal Overview
There are four general-purpose camera controls available.
•
Camera Control 1 (CC1)
•
Camera Control 2 (CC2)
•
Camera Control 3 (CC3)
•
Camera Control 4 (CC4)
Each camera manufacture is free to define the signals input on any one or all four control signals.
These control signals are used either as camera control pulses or as a static logic state. Control
signals not required by the camera are simply assigned as not used. Refer to your camera's user
manual for information on what control signals are required.
Note: The X64 Xcelera-HS PX8 pulse controller has a minimum resolution of 100ns for line trigger
signals (applies to linescan cameras), and resolution of 1
µ
s for all other signal. When configuring
the Camera Link control signals such as exposure control, etc. use values in increments of 1
µ
s.
The X64 Xcelera-HS PX8 can assign any camera control signal to the appropriate HS-Link control.
The following screen shot shows the Sapera CamExpert dialog where Camera Link controls are
assigned.
