Using the Digital Data Channel

Note: The following instructions assume that you have purchased the optional serial-to-parallel-
out (SIPO) accessory module with parallel data cable. If you are using the Ethernet module, or
the Firewire module, follow the instructions in the section Connecting Micron/A10 to a PC via
the Firewire(IEEE-1394). If you are using custom cabling and/or interface electronics, contact
Indigo Systems Customer Support at (805) 964-9797 if you need additional assistance.
1. Follow the steps shown in Section 7 for basic operation of the Micron/A10 camera. After
verifying that the camera is operating properly, disconnect power from the Interface
Module.
2. Connect the SIPO accessory module directly to the three-row DB15 connector on the
Interface Module labeled "DIGITAL DATA". (No cabling is required.)
3. Connect the parallel data cable to the mating connector on the SIPO module. Connect
the other end to the frame-grabber board installed in your PC.
Note: The parallel data cable is specific to a particular frame grabber. In other words, a
parallel data cable intended to mate to a Bitflow frame grabber will not mate with a
National Instruments frame grabber or vice versa.
4. Follow instructions included with the frame grabber for selecting the camera
configuration file included with the SIPO module.
5. Reapply power to the Interface Module. This will power-up both the Micron/A10
camera and the SIPO module, and digital data will begin streaming.
6. If desired, change the digital data mode using the Control Panel software (see Section
7.1.3).

Dimensioned Drawings

Figure 28, Figure 29, and Figure 30 show dimensioned drawing of the Micron/A10 camera in the
11 mm, 18 mm, and 30 mm lens configurations, respectively.

Mounting

There is a single threaded mounting hole on the bottom surface of the camera. For precision
alignment, there is also a hole on the bottom surface that allows an anti-clocking pin to be
installed in the mounting platform. The included tripod-mount adapter is bolted to the camera
using these two mounting features. The tripod mount provides a standard ¼-20 threaded hole for
installation on a tripod.
