    3 Hardware 3.1 Camera Connection Use the camera in the following way: (1) Camera Link cables must be used to connect the camera unit with the frame grabber board.  Use asymmetric Camera Link cables and connect the camera with the connector labeled as ”Camera side”.
  • Page 18 <Note: Choosing the appropriate Camera Link cable length > According to the Camera Link Specification, the maximum cable length is 10m. But the maximum cable length to be able to transfer data depends on the type of cable performance and clock speed. The actual maximum transmission distance becomes less than 10m at faster clock speeds, though the transmission distance of 10m is feasible at slower clock speeds.

    4 Camera Control The camera can be controlled through the serial communication. Two methods can be used to change the camera’s parameters. The first approach is to change “8 parameters using CLISBeeCtrl (Camera control software). (See CLISBeeCtrl”.) Or you can also change the parameters directly from your application by using binary read/write commands to set values in the camera register.
