See Appendix B for the complete DALSA Camera Link configuration table, and refer to
the DALSA Web site for the official Camera Link documents
(http://www.dalsa.com/mv/knowledge/appnotes.aspx).
Input Signals, Camera Link
The camera accepts control inputs through the Camera Link MDR26F connector.
i
The camera ships in internal sync, maximum exposure time (exposure mode 7).
EXSYNC (Triggers Line Readout)
Line rate can be set internally using the serial interface. The external control signal
EXSYNC is optional and enabled through the serial interface. This camera uses the falling
edge of EXSYNC to trigger pixel readout. See Setting the Exposure Mode, page 32, for
details on how to set line rates, exposure times, and camera modes.
Output Signals, 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 for the standard
location of these signals (http://www.dalsa.com/mv/knowledge/appnotes.aspx).
Clocking Signal
LVAL (high)
DVAL (high)
STROBE (rising edge)
FVAL (high)
The camera internally digitizes 12 bits and outputs the 8 MSB or all 12 bits depending on
the camera's Camera Link operating mode.
