Input Signals

The camera accepts an EXSYNC control input through the Camera Link MDR26F
connector. External control signals are optional and enabled through the serial interface.
EXSYNC (Triggers Readout)
EXSYNC is an optional input signal that can be used to trigger the frame rate. Depending
on the camera's exposure mode setting, it can use either the rising or falling edge of
EXSYNC to trigger frame readout. Refer to the following table for details.

The camera requires a single voltage input (+12VDC to +24VDC). The camera meets all
performance specifications using standard switching power supplies, although well-
regulated linear supplies provide optimum performance.
When setting up the camera's power supplies follow these guidelines:

EXSYNC Edge Description
The rising edge of EXSYNC begins camera exposure. The falling edge begins
readout.
The falling edge of EXSYNC initiates camera exposure.
EXSYNC should not be clocked faster than the camera's specified maximum frame

Protect the camera with a fast-blow fuse between power supply and camera.
Do not use the shield on a multi-conductor cable for ground.
Keep leads as short as possible to reduce voltage drop.
