The optional version of the FastCamera power supply and trigger cable assembly has a
DB-9F connector which allows user connection of a TTL trigger input to the camera via the
Camera's 12-pin Hirose round power connector. The connections are as follows:
PIN
FUNCTION
1
Ground.
2
Expose output. This is a TTL-level signal which goes high while the camera's
electronic shutter is “open”.
3
Trigger output. This is a TTL-level signal which goes high for about 1 microsecond
when the camera has accepted a trigger. If a delay period has been specified, this will go
high at the beginning of the delay period, thus it can be used as an advanced notification
of exposure.
4
Trigger input. This TTL-level input can be programmed to trigger the camera on its
rising or falling edge, or used active high or low to control exposure directly, depending on
the trigger mode. The input is not terminated in the camera, so it is recommended to add
a pull-up resistor to +5V at the DB-9F connector.
5
Ground.
6
+5V. This is not intended to supply current for external devices, but only to allow
termination resistors to be added as described for the Trigger input. Recommended pull-
up value is 470 Ohms.
