See Appendix B for the complete DALSA Camera Link configuration table, and refer to
the DA LSA Web site, mv.dalsa.com, for the official Camera Link documents.
Digital Data
The cam er a digitizes i nternally 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).
Data Clocking Signals
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, available at
mv .dalsa.com for the standard location of these signals:
Clocking Signal Indicates
LVAL (high) Outputting valid line
DVAL (high) Val id data
STROBE (ri si ng ed ge) Val id data
IMPORTANT: This camera’s data should be sampled on the rising edge of STROBE.
See A ppendi x A for the complete Camera Link timing, DA LSA Camera Link
configuration table, and refer to the DALSA Web site, mv.dalsa.com, for the official
Camera Link document.
Input Signals
The camera accepts control inputs through the Camera Link MDR26F connector. All inputs
are optional. The camera ships in exposure mode 2 (programmable line rate and exposure
time). All Camera Control (CCx) signals are in a logic HIGH state.
Li ne rate can be set
internally using the serial interface. Power-on rate is alw ays 9600 baud. Data rate is
alw ays 40 MHz. The external control signals, EXSYNC and PRIN, are optional and
enabled through the serial interface.
PRIN
PRIN is an optional input signal used for exposure control (PRIN).
PRIN Indicates
