INSTALLATION GUIDE
IMAQ D100DAL C
This guide describes how to attach an IMAQ D100DA L cable to your
image acquisition (IMAQ) device and a DALSA camera. This guide
discusses two possible DALSA camera configurations: one in which the
camera has a combined control/power connector receptacle and one in
which the control connector receptacle and power connector receptacle are
separate.
You can use an IMAQ D100DAL cable to connect your IMAQ device to
your DALSA video camera and fo ur trigger channels. Refer to y our IMAQ
device documentation for more detailed information on these external
trigger signals.
Your DALSA camera cable receptacles may appear different from those
Note
illustrated in this guide. Refer to the National Instruments Web site,
http://www.natinst.com/imaq, for the latest information on using DALSA cameras
with your IMAQ device.

Installation
Some DALSA cameras hav e only an OS1 or OS1/2 receptacle. W ith such cameras,
Note
you do not need to connect anything to the OS2 or OS3/4 connector.
Follow these steps to connect an IMAQ D100DAL cable to a camera with
a combined control/power connector receptacle, as illustrated in Figure 1.
1. Insert the 100-pin SCSI-type connector end of the IMAQ D100DAL
cable into the external 100-pin SCSI-type receptacle of your IMAQ
device, ensuring correct polarity. Tighten the thumbscrews as
necessary.
2. Depending on your camera, insert the OS1 or OS1/2 camera conn ector
of the IMAQ D100DAL cable into your camera’s corresponding
receptacle, ensuring correct polarity.
3. Insert the OS2 or OS3/4 camera connector of the IMAQ D100DAL
cable into your camera’s corresponding receptacle, ensuring correct
polarity.
4. Insert the IMA Q D100D AL control/power co nnector into the camera’ s
corresponding receptacle, ensuring correct polarity.
5. Insert the IMAQ D100DAL cable’s power supply connector into the

Triggering
If you plan to connect external trigger signals to your IMAQ device, you
can use either the IMAQ D2504 cable or your own trig ger in terface cab le.
If building your o wn cable, see Fig ure 3 for pin-out information . For mo re
information on the D2504 cable, see the IMAQ 2504 Cable Installation
Guide.
To connect external trigger signals to your IMAQ device, insert the tr igger
interface cable into the trigger connector of the IMAQ D100DAL cable,
ensuring correct polarity. Tighten the thumbscrews as necessary.
