Rules about Split Cables

If two channels share the same connector, they both know all informations about the topology of cable.

An automatic mode is available if Cable<X,Y>Topology has its default value.

Channel for single camera

A channel defined with a single camera has Cable<X,Y>Topology set to default value 0. Reading a CAM file will automatically change Cable<X,Y>Topology to the correct value.

Example

On a Domino Alpha 2 with BoardTopology set to 2_11. The dual-tap camera on connector X has the CableXTopology default value 0. After reading the CAM file CV-M10E_P60RA, CableXTopology automatically takes the value 202.

Channels with split cable

If two channels share the same connector, Cable<X,Y>Topology is set to default value 100000. For the primary camera, reading a CAM file will automatically change Cable<X,Y>Topology to the correct value.

For the secondary camera, no automatic setting is available. The user must specify a correct value.

Example

On a Domino Alpha 2 with BoardTopology set to 2_11. The single-tap camera on connector Y has the CableYTopology default value 100000. After reading the CAM file CV-A1_P16RA of the primary camera, CableYTopology automatically takes the value 000101. To allow also usage of the same camera on the connector YBIS, CableXTopology must be set to 101101 before creation of the second channel.
