1.2 Image Sensor
The Piranha Color camera uses a trilinear CCD sensor with three lines of pixels: one
blue, one red and one green. Depending on your camera model, each line contains
either 2048 or 4096 pixels. As illustrated in the diagram below, the blue line has 2
outputs (taps), and the red and green lines have 4 outputs.

Hardware Interface: Connectors
and Timing
2.1 Installation Overview
When installing your camera, you should take these steps:
1. Power down all equipment.
2. Following the manufacturer’s instructions, install the frame grabber (if applicable).
Be sure to observe all static precautions.
3. Install any necessary imaging software.
4. Before connecting power to the camera, test all power supplies. Ensure that all the
correct voltages are present at the camera end of the power cable. Power supplies
must meet the requirements defined in section 2.2.2 Power Connector.
5. Inspect all cables and connectors prior to installation. Do not use damaged cables
or connectors or the camera may be damaged.
6. Connect Camera Link and power cables.
7. After connecting cables, apply power to the camera.
8. Check the diagnostic LED. See the LED Status Indicator section below for an
LED description.
9. The camera powers on with a baud rate of 9600.
You must also set up the other components of your system, including light sources,
camera mounts, host computers, optics, encoders, and so on.
2.2 Input / Output Connectors and LED
The camera uses:
An LED to display the camera's status.
High-density 26-pin MDR26 connectors for Camera Link control signals, data
signals, and serial communications.
One 6-pin Hirose connector for power.

Note: Refer to the following sections for details on equipment recommendations and
camera connector information.
2.3 Camera LED
The camera is equipped with a red/green LED used to display the operational status of
the camera. The table below summarizes the operating states of the camera and the
corresponding LED states.
When more than one condition is active, the LED indicates the condition with the
highest priority. The fatal error state is accompanied by corresponding messages further
describing the problem.
Table 1: Diagnostic LED
Priority
Color of Status LED
Meaning
1
Flashing Red
Fatal Error. For example, camera temperature is too
high and camera thermal shutdown has occurred.
2
Flashing Green
Camera initialization or executing a long command
(e.g., flat field correction commands ccp or ccf).
During this state, any other sent command is ignored.
3
Solid Green
Camera is operational and functioning correctly and
ready to receive commands.

Mating Part: HIROSE
HR10A-7P-6S
The camera requires a single voltage input (+12 V to +15 V). The camera meets all
performance specifications using standard switching power supplies, although well-
regulated linear supplies provide optimum performance.
WARNING: When setting up the camera’s power supplies follow these guidelines:
Ensure +12 V to +15 V at the camera power input (after the voltage drop across
the power cable. This may mean that the power supply will have to provide a
voltage greater than the required camera voltage. For example, to achieve +12 V at
the camera, the power supply may need to be +12.5 V or greater.
Protect the camera with a fast-blow fuse between power supply and camera.
Do not use the shield on a multi-conductor cable for ground.
Keep leads as short as possible to reduce voltage drop.
Use high-quality linear supplies to minimize noise.
Use an isolated type power supply to prevent LVDS common mode range
violation.
Note: Camera performance specifications are not guaranteed if your power supply
does not meet these requirements.

2.5 Camera Link Data Connector
Figure 3: Camera Link MDR26 Connector
Input Signals, Camera Link
The camera accepts control inputs through the Camera Link MDR26F connector.
The camera ships in internal sync, internal programmed integration (exposure mode 2).
EXSYNC (Triggers Line Readout)
Line rate can be set internally using the serial interface. The external control signal
EXSYNC is optional and enabled through the serial interface. This camera uses the
falling edge of EXSYNC to trigger pixel readout.
Direction Control
You control the CCD shift direction through the serial interface. With the software
command, scd, you determine whether the direction control is set via software control
or via the Camera Link control signal on CC3.
Output Signals, Camera Link
These signals indicate when data is valid, allowing you to clock the data from the camera
to your acquisition system. These signals are part of the Camera Link configuration and
you should refer to the Camera Link Roadmap, available from the Knowledge Center
on our website here, for the standard location of these signals.

The camera internally digitizes 12 bits and outputs the 8 MSB or all 12 bits
depending on the camera’s Camera Link operating mode.
2.6 Camera Timing
The Piranha Color camera uses a base or medium Camera Link interface.
Base Configuration
A base configuration uses 1 MDR26 connector and 1 Channel Link chip. The main
characteristics of the base configuration are:
Ports supported: A, B, C.
IMPORTANT:
This camera’s
data should be
sampled on the
rising edge of
STROBE.

Notes:
*Exterior Overshield is connected to the shells of the connectors on both ends.
**3M part 14X26-SZLB-XXX-0LC is a complete cable assembly, including connectors.
Unused pairs should be terminated in 100 ohms at both ends of the cable.
Inner shield is connected to signal ground inside camera.

Notes for Base and Medium Configuration Timing:
1. CLM: Camera Link Mode.
2. Bits: Number of bits per pixel.
3. Taps: Number of camera link taps per color.
4. Luminance: Indicates if a tap constructed from the RGB using the SCC command
is output.
5. Time: Time multiplex interval.
6. Port: Camera Link port.
7. SOT: Output throughput [mega-pixels / second / color].
8. Maximum SSF: Maximum line rate [kHz] possible in this mode (may be reduced by
SBH, ELS and SRM).
9. The maximum line rate for SOT 60 for the 80 model is greater than the 60 model as
a result of the different readout clocking scheme.
10. Time multiplexing (CLM 9 and 10) is not supported in all frame grabbers.
11. Measurements were made using command settings els 0 and srm 2.
