Connectors section of Chapter4, Signal Connections .
Camera Link Cables
Use a 3M Camera Link cable to connect your camera to the MDR 26-pin
connector on the IMAQ 1428 device. Camera Link cables consist of
two MDR-26 male plugs linked with a twin-axial shielded cable and
are available in two shell configurations.
Note National Instruments recommends purchasing a Camera Link cable. Building your
own cable is not recommended due to the high-speed signaling on the Camera Link
interface.
For more information on Camera Link cables, refer to the Specifications
of the Camera Link Interface Standard for Digital Cameras and Frame
Grabbers manual. This manual is available on several Web sites,
including the Automated Imaging Association site at
www.machinevisiononline.org.
