Falcon 4M Camera Manual03-032-20044-01 DALSA18!Input Signals, Camera LinkThe camera accepts control inputs through the Camera Link MDR26F connector.The camera ships in internal sync, internal programmed integration (exposure mode 2),and Camera Link mode 16 (4M60) or 3 (4M30).EXSYNCFrame rate can be programmed using the serial interface. The external control signalEXSYNC is optional and enabled through the serial interface. This camera uses the fallingedge of EXSYNC to trigger frame readout. Section 3.3 Camera Output Format detailshow to set frame times, exposure times, and camera modes.Output Signals, Camera LinkThese signals indicate when data is valid, allowing you to clock the data from the camerato your acquisition system. These signals are part of the Camera Link configuration andyou should refer to the DALSA Camera Link Implementation Road Map, available athttp://mv.dalsa.com/, for the standard location of these signals.Clocking Signal IndicatesLVAL (high) Outputting valid lineDVAL (high) Valid dataSTROBE (rising edge) Valid dataFVAL (high) Outputting valid frame• The camera internally digitizes to 10 bits and outputs 8 MSB or all 10 bits dependingon the camera’s Camera Link operating mode.• For a Camera Link reference and timing definitions refer to Appendix A on page 68.2.2.3 Power ConnectorFigure 8: Hirose 6-pin Circular Male—Power ConnectorHirose 6-pin Circular Male546231Mat ing Par t: HIRO SEHR10A -7P-6SThe camera requires a single voltage input (12 to 15V).WARNING: When setting up the camera’s power supplies follow these guidelines:• Protect the camera with a fast-blow fuse between power supply and camera.• Power surge limit at 3 A.• 12 V power supply. Nominal 0.85 A load resulting in ~20 A/s current ramp rate• Power supply current limit needs to be set at >3 A.Hirose Pin DescriptionPin Description Pin Description1 12 to 15V 4 GND2 12 to 15V 5 GND3 12 to 15V 6 GNDIMPORTANT:Camera readout istriggered on the fallingedge of EXSYNC.
