WARNING: When setting up the camera’s power supplies follow these guidelines:
•
Apply the appropriate voltages.
•
Protect the camera with a 3 amp slow-blow fuse between the power supply
and the camera.
•
Do not use the shield on a multi-conductor cable for ground.
•
Keep leads as short as possible in order to reduce voltage drop.
•
Use high-quality linear supplies in order to minimize noise.
Note: If your power supply does not meet these requirements, then the camera
performance specifications are not guaranteed.
Camera Link Data Connector
The camera uses a Camera Link HS SFF-8470 (CX4) cable.
Input Signals, Camera Link
The camera accepts control inputs through the Camera Link HS SFF-8470(CX4) connector.
The camera ships (factory setting) in internal sync, and internally triggered integration.
Frame Start Trigger (EXSYNC)
The EXSYNC signal tells the camera when to integrate and readout the image. It can be either an
internally generated signal by the camera, or it can be supplied externally by a CLHS Pulse
Message, GPIO, and software command.
