The part number of this Hirose connector is HR10A-7R-4P. To create an I/O cable you need a Hirose connector HR10A-7P-4S.
3.1.1
TRIGGER_IN
The TRIGGER_IN line can be used to synchronize the start of the exposure time with external events. The Trigger section describes in detail how the image sensor's behavior can be controlled.
The current input signal can also be read directly through the General Purpose Input feature.
3.1.2
STROBE_OUT
The STROBE_OUT line's main usage is to indicate the integration time of the image sensor which allows flashes, strobes or other light sources to be synchronized with camera operation. The line's behavior can be controlled through the Strobe controls.

Camera Controls
5 Camera Controls
This section describes the parameters available for the DMK 42BUC03 camera. The actual name of the parameter depends on the driver technology used to access the
camera. Parameter names are listed for the most common ways to access the cameras:
·
UVC/V4L2 (on Linux, via uvcvideo)
·
IC Imaging Control (on Windows, via Device Driver for USB Cameras)
5.1
Sensor Readout Control
5.1.1
Pixel Format
The pixel format defines the data type of the pixels transmitted to the computer. The bits per pixel needed for a particular pixel format influence the required bandwith.
The way the pixel format is controlled varies significantly among the driver technology used to access the camera:
·
When using the uvcvideo driver on Linux, the pixel format is defied by video4linux2.
·
When using IC Imaging Control, the pixel format is part of the video format - a parameter which combines pixel format, resolution and readout mode. For more information, refer to the IC Imaging Control documentation sections on VideoFormat and VideoFormatDesc.
The DMK 42BUC03 monochrome camera supports multiple pixel formats with variable bits-per-pixel settings. The names of the pixel formats and the way to select them depends on the driver used to control the camera. The following table contains a short overview of all possible formats followed by a more detailed description.

Y800
5.1.1.1
8-Bit Monochrome
This format transmits data using one byte for each pixel. UVC drivers see it with the FourCC Y800. The Device Driver for USB Cameras offers this pixel format as the Y800 video format.
5.1.2
Frame Rate
The frame rate is specified in frames per second and determines the camera's operating speed.
The way the frame rate is controlled depends greatly upon which driver technology is used to access the camera:
·
When using uvcvideo on Linux, the frame rate is selected from a list of available frame rates.

Camera Controls
·
When using IC Imaging Control, the frame rate is selected from a list of available frame rates through APIs such as Grabber::setFPS or ICImagingControl.DeviceFrameRate.
The range of available frame rates depends upon other camera settings such as well, pixel format, resolution and readout modes.

5.1.3
Partial Scan Offset
If the selected resolution is smaller than the sensor size, the part of the sensor that is actually read out can be specified by the Partial Scan Offset X and Partial Scan Offset Y parameters. By default, the camera automatically positions the offsets so that the center of the sensor is used.

Trigger
The trigger mode can be used to take images at very specific points in time which are specified by an electrical signal connected to the TRIGGER_IN pin of the I/O connector of the camera.

Digital I/O
The One4All series has one digital input and one digital output. The digital input can be used as a Trigger input but the current status can also examined directly.
The digital output can be configured as a Strobe output to signal the exact moment when the image sensor is sensitive to light so that external light sources can be synchronized to its operation cycle.
5.4.1
General Purpose Input
The General Purpose Input parameter allows the current status of the TRIGGER_IN pin.
