66 Chapter 5: Matrox
| UART |
| Matrox |
| Receiver/Transmitter (UART) that provides an |
| interface. For example, this allows remote camera |
| configuration, a motion control unit, or of a program logic |
| controller (PLC). The UART is programmed using the |
| function, MdigControl() with the M_UART... control types. |
| Lookup table (LUT) |
| The Matrox |
| programmable lookup tables. The LUTs on Matrox |
| /Digital can be operated as four |
| lookup tables, or two |
| PSG |
| The Programmable Synchronization Generator (PSG) is |
| responsible for managing all timing and synchronization |
| signals. |
| Control signals |
| The following is a short description of the control signals on the |
| Matrox |
| version of your board, the signals will be in |
| format. It is indicated when other signals such as TTL signals |
| are also supported. |
| The interface can receive and/or supply the HSYNC and |
Synchronization | |
| VSYNC signals. The VIA receives the synchronization signals |
| from the PSG or from an external source. |
| The VIA also receives a VALID signal that can either be |
Valid | |
| generated by the PSG or an external source. When received by |
| PSG, it can indicate valid pixels on a line by line basis. When |
| received from an external source, it can indicate valid pixels on |
| a pixel by pixel basis. |
