SECTION 2
Camera Hardware Interface
2.1 Installation Overview
Before you integrate your camera into your system you should first determine some basic
operating parameters such as what resolution you need. Do you know the speed of the object that
your camera will be inspecting? One additional point you want to keep in mind is your lighting
requirement.
One major item that you should identify early on in developing your system is the source of your
EXSYNC control signal ( framegrabber, custom controller, shaft/web encoder, etc.).
2.2 Connectors, Pinouts, and Cables
The CAM/CMOS-2K.LS uses one MDR-26 connector for CameraLink
TM
to communicate control
signals, data signals, and serial communications.
CameraLink
TM
cables are available as a standard off-the-shelf-part, 3M #14X26-SZLB-XXX-OLC
and others, so that detailed cabling work is unnecessary.
