Camera Hardware Interface

2.1Installation 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.
