ORCA-Lightning Digital CMOS Camera C14120-20P Instruction manual_Ver.2.5
12
a. Lens mount
This attaches an optical lens or an optical system with an optical lens.
It can attach the type of F-mount, C-mount or TFL-II-mount either.
It is attached F-mount adapter by default. When used C-mount type, it need to change to the
C-mount adapter. When used TFL-II-mount, it need to remove the mount adapter from the
camera. Refer to 8-4 "EXCHANGING / DETACHING OF MOUNT ADAPTER”.
•
Do not to screw the lens more than 7 mm from the surface of the C-mount adapter on the
camera. Doing so can scratch the protective glass.
b. CoaXPress interface connector 1,2,3,4
This is the cable to connect the CoaXPress interface connector of the camera and the
CoaXPress interface connector on the computer.
Each connector on the CoaXPress interface board and the camera has a number. When they
are connected, connect the same number of connectors to each other with CoaXPress
interface cables.
In addition, each connector on the camera has a LED lamp. All the lamps stay on green when
the interface is ready to communicate after turning on the camera.
•
Launch the application software after all the lamps stay on green. Because the computer
does not recognize the camera.
•
All the lamps do not stay on green when the computer (CoaXPress interface board) is
not turned on.
c. Trigger input connector [EXT.TRIG]
This is used when the camera is being operated using external synchronization.
Input is 3.3 V LVCMOS level, and input impedance is 10 k
Ω.
When an external trigger is input, the trigger is activated at the falling or rising edge of the
signal. (You can choose external trigger polarity between Negative and Positive.)
•
Please refer to 10-3 “CAMERA OPERATION MODES” for the details of External trigger
mode and Start trigger mode.
d. Timing out connector 1, 2, 3 [TIMING 1, 2, 3]
This is used when peripheral device(s) require synchronization with the camera.
There are 3 connectors that can output 3 types of signals. There is no specified connection
order for the connector.
Output is 3.3 V LVCMOS level, and it is output though BUS TRANSCEIVER IC SN74LVC541.
Output impedance is 33
Ω.
•
Please refer to 10-7 “TRIGGER OUTPUTS” for the details of the trigger outputs function.
