PC2-CamLink User's Manual Part I: PC2-CamLink Board • 61
• Error on Pixel Clock: No pixel clock detected from the camera.
• Visual indicators on the PCI bracket give a clear indication of the acquisition and trigger status.
Additional LEDs are present at the back of the board, below the floppy power connector. These
LEDs indicate a camera power overflow.
The rest of trigger-to-image reliability is handled internally by the ACU to correctly synchronize
acquisition with camera control and image transfer. This is done automatically and does not require
user application involvement.
The following table summarizes trigger-to-image reliability features on the PC2-CamLink:
