GE680 User Manual 70-0026A-A

Sync Out 2 and Sync Out 3

These signals only function as outputs and can be configured as follows:

Exposing	Corresponds to when camera is
	integrating light.
Trigger Ready	Indicates when the camera will accept a
	trigger signal.
Trigger Input	A relay of the trigger input signal used
	to “daisy chain” the trigger signal for
	multiple cameras.
Readout	Valid when camera is reading out data.
Strobe	Programmable pulse based on one of the
	above events.
Imaging	Valid when camera is exposing or
	reading out.
GPO	User programmable binary output.

Any of the above signals can be set for active high or active low.

RS-232 RXD and RS-232 TXD

These signals are RS-232 compatible. These signals allow communication from the host system via the Ethernet port to a peripheral device connected to the camera.

ISOLATED GROUND

These signals are internally connected to isolated ground. At least one of these signals must be connected to the users external circuit ground. However, it is good practice to provide a dedicated ground return for each signal used. For example, a good cable design would connect the required signal on one conductor of a twisted pair and the isolated ground on the second conductor of the same twisted pair.

DNC

These signals are reserved for future use and should be left disconnected.

Item 3: Mini-SMB Trigger Input

The Mini-SMB port on the camera uses an Amphenol 903-406J-51R connector. A suitable mating cable connector is Amp 413985-3 which can be used with RG174 coaxial cable. Contact Prosilica to purchase cabling.

The Mini-SMB Trigger Input is internally connected to the Trigger Input (Pin 1) of the General Purpose I/O Port (Item 2 above). Therefore see this section for more detail.
