Connect the camera cable (c) to the DC power input
connector (a) and the Camera Link cable (d) to the
DIGITAL Interface connector (b) respectively. If you
use a camera module interface board with support for
PoCL, you can operate the camera even if you do not
connect the camera cable to the DC power input
connector. When you connect the Camera Link cable,
turn the two fastening screws (e) on the connector to
secure the cable tightly.
Connect the other end of the camera cable to the DC-
700/700CE and the other end of the Camera Link cable
to the camera module interface board.
Note
Please be careful with the points below, as they may be
the cause of camera or camera image input board failure.
– Connect or disconnect camera cables or camera link
cables while the power is not supplied.
– Supply power after confirming each cable is firmly
connected.
– Do not supply power from both camera cable and
camera link cable simultaneously.
– If you use the camera with PoCL connection, make
sure to connect a cable that supports PoCL.

Controlling the camera from the
host device
You can control the camera from host device such as a
computer.
You can send a command corresponding to the control
items, with parameters for the desired settings, if
necessary, from the host device to control the camera.
Refer to "Camera Control Commands" on page 37 for
details on how to send a command and its parameter.
Note
Make sure to supply power to the camera module and
confirm that the camera module is operating before
inputting a trigger signal. If you input trigger signal to a
camera module without the power supplied, this may
cause a malfunction of the camera module.
