REFERENCE A

Providing External Trigger

Using PCI-1424 Frame Grabber

1.Modify the frame grabber cable with the following connection:

Refer to the NI PCI-1424 TO 4KTDI LVDS CABLE PIN CONFIGURATION

•Disconnect the wires that are connected to pins 95 and 100 of connector 5 (SCSI 100)

•Use a 6 inch coax cable and connect a BNC connector (male) on one end

•Connect the other end of the coax cable ( center conductor) to pin 95 (external trigger 0) of connector 5 (SCSI 100)

•Connect the shield of the coax cable to pin 100 (ground) of connector 5 (SCSI 100)

2.Connect the external trigger TTL source to the BNC connector.

3.The external trigger function of the PCI-1424 frame grabbers requires National Instrument's Labview software and NI-IMAQ software to operate.

•Start the Labview application software

•Open the file "Ext Trigger_Display_With_No_Vision2.vi" ( attached file)

Ext

Trigger_Display_With_No_Vi...

•In IMAQ environment -> Device and Interface

•Create IMAQ- PCI-1424: fairchild4K

•Select: Fairchild CAM 4KTDI for Channel 0 ( see attached file)

IMAQ-WINDOW.tif

•Run continuous capture on the Labview application (see attached file)
