  • Page 8 To operate the camera 12V Power with suitable current capacity (see specifications) must be provided on Pin 2 and the Power Ground on Pin 1. A cable assembly providing this power can be ordered from Prosilica (Prosilica P/N 02-8003A for North America or Prosilica P/N 02-8004A for a Universal supply).
  • Page 9 GC750 User Manual 70-0032A-A Sync Input 1 and Sync Input 2 These input signals allow the camera to be synchronized to some external event. The camera can be programmed to trigger on the rising edge, falling edge, both edges or level of this signal. The camera can also be programmed to capture an image at some programmable delay time after the trigger event.

  • Page 12: Camera Installation

    Camera Installation Computer Interface The Prosilica GC Series cameras will work with any Ethernet network card; however Prosilica strongly recommends using Gigabit Ethernet components that support Jumbo Frames. A Jumbo Frame is loosely defined as a frame size greater than 1500 bytes however typical Jumbo Frames are around 9000 bytes.
  • Page 13 GC750 User Manual 70-0032A-A Gigabit Ethernet Setup for Windows o Install network card in computer. o Boot the PC and cancel the “Found new Hardware Wizard” window that may appear when Windows detects the new card. o Install the driver that came with the network card.

    GC750 User Manual 70-0032A-A Notes on Triggering Definitions o User Trigger is the trigger signal applied by the user. o Logic Trigger is the trigger signal seen by the camera internal logic. o Tpd is the propagation delay between the User Trigger and the Logic Trigger.
  • Page 26 GC750 User Manual 70-0032A-A Triggering during the Readout State o For applications requiring the fastest triggering cycle time whereby the camera image sensor is exposing and reading out simultaneously, then the User Trigger signal should be applied as soon as a valid Trigger Ready is detected.
