Physical Interface36 Basler sprint Mono Cameras2.8.5 Serial to Frame GrabberThe Serial To Frame Grabber (SerTFG) output signal is an RS-644 LVDS signal as specified in theCamera Link standard. The signal is output from the camera on pins 8 and 21 of MDR connectorone as specified in the standard and as shown in Table 5 on page 25 and in Figure 14 on page 32.Signals from the SerTFG output are used during camera configuration. For more detailedinformation about the serial connection, see Section 2.9 on page 37 and Section 7.3 on page 196.NotesKeep in mind that a change to the Camera Link clock speed is a parameterchange and that parameter changes are normally lost when the camera isreset or switched off and back on. To avoid this, you can make changes to thecamera’s parameters, save the changed parameters to a "user set", and thenactivate the user set. This will ensure that the changed parameters are savedand are loaded into the camera at reset or power off/on. For more informationabout saving and activating sets of parameters, see Section 6.12 onpage 149.Lowering the clock speed from 80 MHz to 40 MHz may lower the camera’smaximum allowed line rate. For more information about calculating themaximum allowed line rate, see Section 4.3 on page 74.Some frame grabbers are not compatible with an 80 MHz pixel clock speed.Refer to the documentation for your frame grabber to determine if it iscompatible.
