The frame rate increases proportionally based on number of TAP configration.
Below is reference information for frame rate difference between TAP configuration.
Number of TAP | Frame rate |
2TAP | Twice faster than 1TAP |
3TAP | 1.5 times faster than 2TAP |
4TAP | 1.3 times faster than 3TAP |
8TAP | Twice faster than 4TAP |
10TAP | 1.25 times faster than 8TAP |
1TAP, 2TAP and 8bits 3TAP are one Camera Link cable configuration.
10bits 3TAP, 12bits 3TAP,4TAP, 8TAP and 10TAP are two Camera Lin cable configration.
It is possible to go back to factory default settings with CLCtrl2 software by below procedure.
1. Selects “ReadAll” button.
2. Selects “Factory->EEPROM” button after finish read all parameters process.
3. Selects “EEPROM->Register” button.
* If without selec “EEPROM->Register” button, factory default settings are applying when power on camera next time.
There is some restriction for cable as below when using Camera Link camera with 10TAP and 85MHz configuration.
1. Please uses shorter than 3m cable.
2. Please uses high performance cable when more than 5m cable is required.
If it is difficult to follow these restrictions, it is necesasry to reduce data transmission speed (10TAP and 60MHz or slow).
It is possible to have some restriction for change resolution based on frame grabber manufacture or type of frame grabber board.
For example:
It is necessary to specify multiple of 48 for horizontal size (x size, width) when selecting 3TAP configuration.
It is necessary to specify multiple of 80 for horizontal size (x size, width) when selecting 10TAP configuration.
Please contact frame grabber board manufacture about restriction between selective TAP configuration and resolution.
Please select one of them based on trigger input method.
CC1: Trigger signal sends to camera through Camera Link cable
SP2: Trigger signal sends to camera through 6pin connector of camera
STC-OSx250CL cameras do not support PoCL.
It is necessary to switch Off for PoCL function of Camera Link frame grabber board when using PoCL supporting Camera Link frame garabber board.
Please use CLCtrl2 software to change camrea settings.
CLCtrl2 uses binary format for communication command.
The camera communication can be done with protocol specifications of product specifications.
The debug tool or communication monitring tool can be monitoring commands of CLCtrls to check communication data between camera and PC.
The administration permission is required when using virtual COM port with some Camera Link frame grabber board on 64bits environment.
Please runs CLCtrl2 with “As Administrator” when this error message occures.
The Camera Link frame grabber board manufacture provides the camera file.
The camera Link frame grabber board manufacture may not provide camera files for every camera mode that camera has.
Please contact us if camera file that for necessary camera mode does not provide from Camera Link frame grabber board manufacture.
8bits 1TAP, 8bits 2TAP and 8bits 3TAP are Base configuration.
8bits 8TAP is Full configuration.
Please check the Camera Link standard for 10bits, 12bits or color 24bits configuration.
