Operation and Features3-12 BASLER A102kDRAFT3.3 Video Data Output ModesThe A102k can output video data using two different modes: single 10 bit mode, or single 8 bitmode. In single 10 bit mode, the camera outputs data for one pixel on each cycle of the pixel clockand the pixel data is at 10 bit depth. In single 8 bit mode, the camera outputs data for one pixel oneach cycle of the pixel clock and the pixel data is at 8 bit depth. These modes are described indetail in Section 2.5.5.2.You can select the video data output mode using either the camera configuration tool CCT+ (seeSection 4.1 and the configuration tool’s on-line help) or binary commands (see Section 4.2). Withthe CCT+, you use the Video Data Output Mode setting on the Output tree to select the dataoutput mode. With binary commands, you use the Video Data Output Mode binary command.3.4 Integrate Enabled SignalAn output signal called Integrate Enabled (IntEn) is available on A102k cameras. The integrateenabled signal indicates that an exposure is taking place. The signal will go high when eachexposure begins and go low when the exposure ends. The characteristics of the signal aredescribed in more detail in Section 2.5.6.This signal is especially useful when you are operating a system where either the camera or theobject being imaged is movable. For example, assume that the camera is mounted on an armmechanism and that the mechanism can be used to move the camera to view different portionsof a product assembly. Typically, you do not want the camera to move during exposure. In thiscase, you can monitor the IntEn signal to know when exposure is taking place and thus knowwhen to avoid moving the camera.In cases where flash exposure is required, the integrate enabled signal is useful as a flash trigger.
