Setting the Camera Link Mode
Purpose:
Sets the camera‘s Camera Link con figuration, number of Camera Link taps and data bit
depth. Refer to the tables on the previous pages to determine which configurations are
valid for your camera model and how this command relates to other camera
configuration commands.
Syntax:
clm m
Syntax Elements:
m
Output mode to use:
2: Base configuration, 2 taps, 8 bit output
3: Base configuration, 2 taps, 12 bit output
15: Medium configuration, 4 taps, 8 bit output
16: Medium configuration, 4 taps, 12 bit output
21: Full configuration, 8 taps, 8 bit output
Notes:
 When you change the Camera Link mode (clm command), the camera changes to
the maximum sot throughput (pixels/ sec) for the entered mode. If the current
throughput is too slow or too fast for the current Camera Link mode, the camera
will automatically adjust the sync frequency value and will return a warning
message that a related parameter was adjusted.
 To obtain the current Camera Link mode, use the command gcp or get clm.
 The bit patterns are defined by the Teledyne DALSA Camera Link Roadmap
available here, Teledyne DALSA application notes.

Setting the Camera Throughput
Purpose:
Works in conjunction with the clm command (see previous) and determines the
throughput of the camera. Refer to the tables in How to Configure Camera Output to
determine which configurations are valid for your camera model an d how this command
relates to other camera configuration commands.
Syntax:
sot m
Syntax Elements:
m
Output throughput. Allowable values are:
80 = 2 taps at 40MHz
160 = 2 taps at 80MHz or 4 taps at 40MHz
320 = 4 taps at 80MHz or 8 taps at 40MHz
640 = 8 taps at 80MHz
Notes:
Throughput is calculated as:
Throughput= (Number of Camera Link Taps) x (Camera Link Pixel Rate in MHz)
 To obtain the throughput setting, use the command gcp or get clm.
 Throughput values are clipped if the camera is unable to maintain the
current throughput setting and a warning message is displayed.
