PCI-1428 External Trigger Latency

Does anyone know what the latency is from the time that one of the external trigger inputs on the PCI-1428 receives a trigger pulse and the time the framegrabber generates the trigger pulse to send to the camera via the cameralink cable? 

Thanks,

Dan

Hi Dan,

The triggering operates on the FPGA level, so the turn-around time for the output trigger will always be on the next clock edge.  The clock is a 50MHz clock, so the delay will always be less than 20 nanoseconds.

Hope this helps!
