What Is The Real Transfer Speed; Why Can I Not Achieve Maximum Transfer Speed; What Voltage Should Be Applied To Digital Input Of Xiq To Turn It On/Off; What Is The Implementation Of Digital Output (Vdo) Of Xiq - XIMEA xiQ series Technical Manual

6.1.3.2.

What is the real transfer speed?

xiQ camera can deliver up to 450Mbyte/sec. This requires that certain conditions are met, see 4.1 System Requirements.
Maximum transfer speeds of different interfaces:
Interface
IEEE1394A
CameraLink base
GigE
USB 2.0
USB 3.0
table 6-2, interface depending transfer rates
6.1.3.3.

Why can I not achieve maximum transfer speed?

In order to reliably achieve maximum transfer speed it is necessary to verify that you are using recommended hardware (please
see 4.1 System Requirements), and that all software requirements are met.
xiCOP (please see 5.7 XIMEA Control Panel) - XIMEA Control Panel free software tool, facilitates the task of verification of XIMEA
USB3 Vision camera installations.
6.1.3.4.

What voltage should be applied to Digital Input of xiQ to turn it on/off?

Following table shows different levels of Voltage on Digital Input (VDI) on xiQ and their logical interpretation.
VDI (Opto-isolated)
0-5Vdc
5-15Vdc
15-24Vdc
table 6-3, voltage levels for digital input
Maximal input voltage 24Vdc
For more details see also 3.8.3 Digital Input.
6.1.3.5.

What is the implementation of Digital Output (VDO) of xiQ?

VDO is opto-isolated NPN open collector type, max. load current 25mA, max. open voltage 24Vdc.
For more details see also 3.8.4 Digital Output.
