Figure 5.11 – I/O control parameter window
Output:
The user can map each of the camera outputs to OUT1, OUT2 or
CL Spare to all available internal output signals. 13 signals are
available for mapping. For each input the user can set the signal
level to active “High” or active “Low”.
1.
Exposure Start – a short pulse (2 us) indicating the beginning
of the camera exposure in trigger mode.
2.
Exposure End – a short pulse (2 us) indicating the end of the
camera exposure in trigger mode.
3.
Mid Exposure – a short pulse (2 us) indicating indicates the
middle of the camera exposure in trigger mode.
4.
Active Exposure Window – a signal indicating the duration
of the camera exposure in trigger mode.
5.
H-Sync – a short pulse (2 us) synchronized with the camera
line timing.
6.
V-Sync – a short pulse (2 us) synchronized with the camera
frame timing.
7.
Odd/Even Frame Flag – a signal indicating if the frame is
ODD or EVEN. It alternates every frame. When “Active
High” ODD is LOW.
8.
Trigger Pulse – maps the input trigger pulse to the output
with no delay (as is).
9.
Trigger Pulse Delayed – maps the input trigger pulse to the
output with delay set by the Exposure Delay Register.
10.
Camera Ready – a signal indicating when the camera is ready
to accept the next trigger pulse.
11.
Pulse Generator – maps the internal pulse generator
waveform to the output.
12.
Strobe 1 – maps “Strobe One” signal to the corresponding
external output.
13.
Strobe 2 – maps “Strobe Two” signal to the corresponding
external output.
