the CameraLink
trigger is generated by the frame grabber board and sent on the CC1 signal through the

CameraLink interface. Some frame grabbers allow the connection external trigger
devices through an I/O card. A schematic diagram of this setup is shown in Fig. 5.15.
I/O Trigger In the I/O trigger mode, the trigger signal is applied directly to the camera by the
