Details
• 6000 pixels (3000 x 2 x 8-bit)
• Variable line scan rate
• Digital video output (RS-422)
• Exposure control
• 2 modes of operation: variable line scan rate, programmable line scan rate
(with programmable exposure control)
Mode 1: Variable line scan rate
Dalsa
Cl-C86000A
• 2988 x 2 x 8-bit
• Digital video output (RS-422)
• DCF configured for 480 lines per virtual frame
• Line scan rate is variable and is controlled by external trigger signal
• Matrox Pulsar receiving TTL external trigger
• Matrox Pulsar sending RS-422 EXPOSURE 1 (PRIN), EXPOSURE 2 (EXSYNC) and RS-

422 reference clock (MCLK) signals to camera; the EXPOSURE2 signal initiates line
readout
• Matrox Pulsar receiving RS-422 pixel clock (STROBE @ 15 MHz) and RS-422 hsync
(LVAL) signals from camera
• Exposure control can be changed via INTELLICAM or MIL digitizer control functions.
• DCFs used: CLC8DAL.DCF

Cabling
Requirements
Mode 1: Variable line scan rate
• IMG-7W2-TO-5BNC cable required for TTL external trigger source and
PULSAR/DIG/MOD required for digital data, syncs and control signals in RS-422 format
• TTL external trigger source should be connected to the TTL Trigger Input of the IMG-7W2-
TO-5BNC cable
• The connections between the 20-pin dual row connector (labeled OS1 and OS2) of the
camera and the 68-pin SCSI-2 connector of the PULSAR/DIG/MOD are as follows:

NOTE: it is very important that all the GROUNDs of the camera be connected together to the
POWER SUPPLY GROUND, which in turn must be connected to the GROUND of
the Pulsar
Mode 2: Programmable periodic line scan rate (programmable exposure control)
• All connections except IMG-7W2-TO-5BNC cable (no TTL external trigger) are as in Mode
1: variable line scan rate
