external trigger camera with 12 pin hirose

Solved!
Go to solution

Hello,

 

I have DMK 23UV024 from theimagingsource (link for cam). It requires 12 pin hirose connector for trigger. I have TTL input as my trigger pulse coming from my DG2020A data generator. I am confused which 2 pins are supposed to be used for the trigger.

Hi Abhilash,

I took a look at the link for your camera, and in the documentation section, I found a PDF that had info on the triggering for the camera. I'd say take a look at page 5. I hope this helps!

Yes David,

 

The page 5 is the pin out config for the camera trigger (Ext). I assume pins 11 and 12 act as the BNC trigger +5 and 0. Am I correct ?

Hi Abhilash, 

 

Yes, it looks like pins 11 and 12 for the USB  version are the trigger lines. You would send anywhere between 3.3 and 24V to the positive pin (pin 11) and your return line would be the negative pin (pin 12).
