NOTE: for 12-bit and 10-bit acquisition, it is very important that the GROUND of the camera be connected
to the POWER SUPPLY GROUND, which in turn must be connected to the GROUND of the Pulsar.

Special
Considerations
Continuous mode
• The main cable can be used without modification for both 12-bit and 10-bit acquisition;
however, the adapter cable must be modified for 10-bit acquisition
• When high, the FVAL (vsync) signal indicates that a valid frame is being output; a high
LVAL (hsync) signal indicates that a valid line is being output. The falling edge of the
STROBE (pixel clock) signal indicates that a valid pixel is being output. The first falling
edge of STROBE after LVAL goes high with FVAL high marks the first valid pixel of
data
• The DCFs can be modified for asynchronous reset and exposure control; contact Matrox
