Input Signals; Exsync: Controls Line Readout And Exposure Time - Basler L301kc Installation And Operating Manual

2.4 Input Signals

The only control signal that can be input into the L301
ExSync is an RS-644 LVDS signal as specified in the Camera Link standard (see Figure 2-3).
Section 2.4.1

2.4.1 ExSync: Controls Line Readout and Exposure Time

The ExSync input signal is used to control exposure time and line readout.
ExSync can be a periodic or non-periodic function. The frequency of the ExSync signal
determines the camera's line rate:
Note that ExSync is edge sensitive and therefore must toggle.
Minimum high time for the ExSync signal is 0.35 µs.
The ExSync signal is typically supplied to the camera by a frame grabber board. You should refer
to the manual supplied with your frame grabber to determine how to set up the ExSync signal.
When the camera is operating with an ExSync signal, three exposure time control modes are
available: edge-controlled, level-controlled and programmable. For more detailed information on
the three modes and recommendations for ExSync controlled operation, see Section 3.2.
