Introduction

MARLIN Technical Manual V2.4.0

•Chapter Camera interfaces on page 48 describes in detail the inputs/

outputs of the cameras (incl. Trigger features). For a general descrip-

tion of the interfaces (FireWire and I/O connector) see Hardware

Installation Guide.

•Chapter Description of the data path on page 65 describes in detail IIDC

conform as well as AVT-specific camera features.

•Chapter Controlling image capture on page 113 describes trigger modi,

exposure time, one-shot/multi-shot/ISO_Enable features. Additionally

special AVT features are described: sequence mode and secure image

signature (SIS).

•Chapter Video formats, modes and bandwidth on page 137 lists all avail-

able fixed and Format_7 modes (incl. color modes, frame rates, bin-

ning/sub-sampling, AOI=area of interest).

•Chapter How does bandwidth affect the frame rate? on page 166 gives

some considerations on bandwidth details.

•Chapter Configuration of the camera on page 171 lists standard and

advanced register descriptions of all camera features.

•Chapter How does bandwidth affect the frame rate? on page 166

explains where to get information on firmware updates and explains the

extended version number scheme of FPGA/µC.

•Chapter Appendix on page 237 lists the sensor position accuracy of AVT

cameras.

•Chapter Index on page 238 gives you quick access to all relevant data in

this manual.
