EXSYNC (Triggers Line Readout)
EXSYNC is an optional input signal that can be used to trigger the line readout rate. This
camera uses the falling edge of EXSYNC to trigger line readout.
Note: EXSYN C shou ld not be clocked faster than the camera’s specified m axim um line
rate. The camera ignores the EXSYNC pulse until it has completed reading the last line
out.
2.6 Data Bus, 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 Camera Link Implementation Road Map, available from the
Knowledge Center page on the Teledyne DALSA website
(www.teledynedalsa.com/ mv/ knowledge/ appnotes.aspx) for the standard location of
these signals:
IMPORTANT: This camera’s data should be sampled on the rising edge of STROBE.
Digital Data
The camera digitizes internally to 10 bits and outputs either all 10 bits or the most
significant 8 bits in LVDS format on the Camera Link connector.
Note: Due to flat-field correction calculations, certain digital numbers will be unavailable
when outputting 10 bits with flat-field correction enabled (i.e. you will experience
missing codes).
