Enable Signals Configuration

The enumerated parameter FvalMode specifies the usage of the FVAL downstream signal; possible values are:

Value

Meaning

FA

The rising edge of the FVAL signal is used as a Start of Frame; the falling edge is irrelevant.

FN

The FVAL signal is ignored by the board.

FC

Raw grabbing; start/stop recording on FVAL rising/falling edges

The enumerated parameter LvalMode specifies the usage of the LVAL downstream signal; possible values are:

Value

Meaning

LA

The rising edge of the LVAL signal is used as a Start of Line; the falling edge is irrelevant.

LN

The LVAL signal is ignored by the board.

The enumerated parameter DvalMode specifies the usage of the DVAL downstream signal; possible values are:

Value

Meaning

DG

The DVAL signal is a clock qualifier,only the data transmitted during clock cycles with DVAL=1 are captured by the board.

DN

The DVAL signal is ignored by the board.

The MultiCam channel must be configured for the appropriate camera operation modes by assigning the appropriate values to the FvalMode, LvalMode, and DvalMode parameters.

Configuring Enable Signals for Area-Scan Cameras

The following combinations of values of FvalMode-LvalMode-DvalMode are allowed for image acquisition from area-scan cameras (Imaging=AREA):

Configuring Enable Signals for Line-Scan Cameras

The following combinations of values of FvalMode-LvalMode-DvalMode are recommended for image acquisition from line-scan (Imaging=LINE) and TDI line-scan cameras (Imaging=TDI):

Configuring Enable Signals for Raw Data Acquisition

The following combinations of values of FvalMode-LvalMode-DvalMode are recommended for raw data acquisition from digital devices:
