d. To enable trigger outputs on the AUX I/O cable’s SyncMASTER1 and
SyncMASTER2 connectors, click on the SyncMASTER: ON button.
When
SyncMASTER is enabled, the output of the SyncMASTER1 connector is
driven at the frequency specified by the
Internal Trigger Frequency.
The
SyncMASTER2 frequency is also specified by the Internal Trigger
Frequency
, but can be delayed from 0 ns to 6,553,500 ns, in 100 ns increments, by
configuring
SyncMASTER
2
Delay appropriately.
NOTE:
The blue SyncMASTER1 and black SyncMASTER2 cables
are used to differentiate these output signals when they are
shown on the SuperSYNCHRO timing diagram.
e. To drive an RF amplifier via the User RF Out connector on the back of the
PI-MAX4: 1024i-RF, click the
User RF Output ON button.
Configure the following RF Output parameters as required:
• Custom Output Frequency
• Output Amplitude
The User RF Output port on the back of the camera must be connected to a
standard RF 50  load.
f. Configure the following parameters:
Configuration values for
Custom Duration and Custom Frequency apply to ALL
entries within the Custom Modulation Phase table.
Valid values are:
• Custom Duration: [1 ms … 21 s] inclusive, in 1 ms increments;
• Custom Frequency: [1 MHz … 200 MHz] inclusive, in 1 MHz increments.
NOTE:
If custom values are required on a per-Modulation-table-entry
basis, a custom add-in must be developed and activated by the
end user to provide this functionality.
When such an add-in has been developed and activated,
LightField assumes all custom modulation configuration is
done from within the add-in, and therefore:
•No
Custom Modulation Phase table changes will be
permitted within LightField;
•No
Custom Duration value will be displayed within
LightField;
•No
Custom Frequency value will be displayed within
LightField.
Refer to document number 4410-0135, LightField Add-ins and
Automation Programming, for information about developing
custom add-ins for LightField.
