2.6 Data Bus, Camera Link

These signals indicate when data is valid, allowing you to clock the data from the camera
to your acquisition system. These signals are part of the Camera Link configuration and
you should refer to the DALSA Camera Link Implementation Road Map, available at
vfm.dalsa.com, for the standard location of these signals:
Clocking Signal
LVAL (high)
DVAL (high)
STROBE (rising edge)
IMPORTANT:
Digital Data
The camera digitizes internally to 10 bits and outputs either all 10 bits or the most
significant 8 bits in LVDS format on the Camera Link connector.
Note:
when outputting 10 bits with flat-field correction enabled (i.e. you will experience
missing codes).
