• External Trigger and Spare input are 5V TTL input. By default they trigger on a rising edge.
• Fire, Fire n, Arm, AUX_OUT_1 and AUX_OUT_2 outputs are all TTL timing outputs (please also refer to
Section 1.6.4 for information on impedance matching)
• TTL I/O can be individually inverted via software (e.g. Solis or SDK)
• Pins 9 to 15 are reserved and should not be used.
• AUX_OUT_1 supplies the ‘FIRE ALL’ output by default. This is the logical AND of the FIRE pulses associated
with Row #1 and Row #n (the last row read out in the image frame). Therefore the FIRE ALL pulse
represents the time within a frame when all rows on the sensor are simultaneously exposing.
AUX_OUT_1isalsocongurableasFIRE,FIREnandFIREANY.TheFIRE ANY pulse represents the time
within a frame when any row of the image frame is exposing. Refer to Section 2.6 for the behaviour of
thesesignalsandtotheSDK3manualforconguringtheAUX_OUT_1output.
NOTE: This congurable output is only available on cameras with FPGA version numbers ≥ 20120802
and Solis versions ≥ 4.22.30001.0 (SDK users require version ≥ 3.5.30001.0).
• AUX_OUT_2 output is reserved for future use.
• I/O Timing Interface cable (Andor part number ACC-ACZ-05612) gives access to all of the above I/O
functions (excluding Ground and Reserved).
