Control data signals

The inputs and outputs of the camera can be configured by software. The dif-
ferent modes are described below.

Inputs

The optocoupler inverts all input signals. Inversion of the signal is controlled
via the IO_INP_CTRL1..2 register (see

Table 22: Advanced register: Input con-

trol

on page 97).

Triggers

All inputs configured as triggers are linked by AND. If several inputs are being
used as triggers, a high signal must be present on all inputs in order to gen-
erate a trigger signal. Each signal can be inverted. The camera must be set
to external triggering to trigger image capture by the trigger signal.

Note

For a general description of the inputs and warnings see
the Hardware Installation Guide, Chapter STINGRAY input
description.
