EXSYNC (Line Readout Trigger)
Line rate can be set internally using the GenICam features. The external control signal EXSYNC is
optional and enabled through the user interface. This camera uses the falling edge of EXSYNC to trigger
pixel readout.
The EXSYNC signal tells the camera when to integrate and readout the image. It can be either an
internally generated signal by the camera, or it can be supplied externally via the serial interface.
Depending upon the mode of operation the high time of the EXSYNC signal can represent the integration
period.
Note: The EXSYNC signal is measured at CC1 and will give a ―true‖ measurement (i.e. within the
measurement resolution of 25 ns) even though the camera will only trigger at a maximum of 100 kHz.
Output Signals, Camera Link Clocking Signals
These signals indicate when data is valid, allowing you to clock the data from the camera to your
acquisition system. These signals are part of the Camera Link configuration and you should refer to the
Camera Link Implementation Road Map, available at our Knowledge Center, for the standard location of
these signals.

Power Connector
WARNING: It is extremely important that you apply the appropriate voltages to your camera.
Incorrect voltages may damage the camera. Input voltage requirement: +12 VDC to +24 VDC,
2 Amps. Before connecting power to the camera, test all power supplies.

The camera requires a single voltage input +12 VDC to +24 VDC. The camera meets all performance
specifications using standard switching power supplies, although well-regulated linear supplies provide
optimum performance.
