Visual Status Leds - Dalsa PC2-CamLink User Manual

Visual Status LEDs

PC2-CamLink hosts two visual status LEDs on its PCI bracket. They are labeled ACQ (acquisition)
and TRIG (external trigger).
The ACQ LED indicates the status of the acquisition based on the signals going through the Camera
Link™ MDR-26 connector. Possible LED states are outlined in table below.
ACQ LED State
OFF
Static Red
Static Green
Blinking Green Slow (2 Hz)
Blinking Green Fast (15 Hz)
The TRIG LED represents the status of the selected external trigger pin. This is based on the signals
going through the DB-15 connector. The TRIG LED is also used to indicate an error condition.
Possible LED states are explained in table below.
TRIG LED State
OFF
Blinking Green
Static Green
Blinking or Static Red
Note: A PC2-CamLink application must be running to select the external trigger source for the TRIG
LED to operate. For instance, if the current camera config file selects OPTO1 as the current external
trigger source, only pulses detected on the DB-15's OPTO1 pin will light the TRIG LED.
