Section 2 3 1 describes the function of the ExSync signal 2 3 1 ExSync Controls Line Readout and Exposure Time The camera can be programmed to function under the control of an externally generated sync signal ExSync in one of three exposure time control modes In these modes edge controlled level controlled and programmable the ExSync signal is used to control exposure time and line read out For more detailed information on the three modes see Section 3 2 ExSync can be a periodic or non periodic function The frequency of the ExSync signal determines the camera s line rate Note that ExSync is edge sensitive and therefore must toggle Minimum high time for the ExSync signal is 62 5 ns The L100b uses a National Semiconductor DS9OLV048A differential line receiver to receive the ExSync input signals A detailed spec sheet for this device is available at the National Semiconductor web site www national com Figure 2 3 shows a basic schematic for the input stage of the L100b RS 644 RS 422 Compatibility The input voltage tolerance for the RS 644 receiver used in the L100b Series cameras is 0 0 V to 3 9 V On typical RS 422 transmitters the output voltage can range as high as 4 0 V As you see the output voltage of a typical RS 422 transmitter can exceed the input voltage tolerance of the RS 644 receiver in the L100b Series cameras Therefore RS 422 signals should not be input directly into the L100b Series cameras BASLER L100
