Output (OUT1 and OUT2)
The Output section enables mapping the camera’s two outputs (OUT1 and OUT2) to
internal output signals. For each output, you can set the signal level to active High or
active Low.
The following internal output signals are available for mapping
Output Signals
Description
Exposure Start
A short pulse (2µs) indicating the beginning of the camera exposure.
Exposure End
A short pulse (2µs) indicating the end of the camera exposure.
Mid Exposure
A short pulse (2µs) indicating the middle of the camera exposure.
Active Exposure Window
A signal indicating the duration of the camera exposure.
H-Sync
A short pulse (2µs) synchronized with the camera line timing.
V-Sync
A short pulse (2µs) synchronized with the camera frame timing.
Odd/Even Frame Flag
A signal based on the camera’s internal timing for indicating either
odd or even frame. It alternates with every frame. If the output is set
as High, it represents the even frame; odd is low.
Trigger Pulse
Maps the input trigger pulse to the output with no delay (as is).
Trigger Pulse Delayed
Maps the input trigger pulse to the output with delay set by the
Exposure Delay Register.
Camera Ready
A signal indicating when the camera is ready to accept the next
trigger pulse.
Pulse Generator
Maps the internal pulse generator waveform to the output.
Strobe #1
Maps the Strobe 1 signal to the corresponding external output.
Strobe #2
Maps the Strobe 2 signal to the corresponding external output.
Toggle
Controls the active polarity of the output signal.
Frame Pulse
Maps the Vertical Frame Transfer pulse.
Strobes 1 and 2
You can set the operational Mode, Position, and Delay for strobe 1 and Strobe 2
independently.
Mode: When setting up a strobe, you must assign it to a frame. Use the Mode drop-down
menu to assign the strobe pulse to the following:
Disable
Each Frame
Odd Frames
Even Frames
Position and Duration: You can set the position and duration of each strobe within the
entire frame timing period with a precision of 1.0 microsecond.
The position determines when the strobe turns on during the frame period.
The duration determines how long the strobe stays on.
