Appendix B Strobe/Trigger/Power Cable
WARNING: Always check the pin out of a custom cable before using it!
The strobe/trigger accessory cable enables access to the camera's output signals located on pins 2 and
3 on the camera power connector. These two outputs provide TTL level trigger pulses. The output signal
on pin 3 is generated from with in the camera and used for firing a strobe light. The output signal on pin
2 is used to monitor the trigger signal that arrives to the camera from the Camera Link cable. The trigger
output signal on pin 2 is pass-through of the incoming trigger. If no trigger signal is sent from the frame
grabber, no signal will be present on pin 2.
NOTE: Externally triggering the camera may only be done via the Camera Link interface. The Strobe
and Trigger cables provide OUTPUT signals only.
Terminate unattached female BNC connectors with 50
Ω terminators.
To connect the strobe/trigger accessory cable:
Unplug the power connector from the camera if already attached.
Insert the MALE LEMO® connector on the strobe/trigger accessory cable into the camera's FEMALE
LEMO® power connector.
Attached the FEMALE end of the strobe/trigger cable to the MALE LEMO® connector located on the
power adapter. At this point, the Trigger Out and Strobe Out BNC cables are routing their respective
signals out of the camera.
