Camera link cable length
The tested maximum Camera Link cable length for the Bonito is 7 m, depending
on the cable quality and the frame grabber.
Accessories
The Bonito needs a DC power supply with 12 V at an average current of 0.35 A
(max. 0.4 A). The camera is delivered with suitable power supply without power
cord.
The Bonito is available with C-Mount, F-Mount or EF-Mount lens adapter. Con-
sider the CMOS sensor size for lens selection. The lens should fully illuminate an
area of
16 mm x 12 mm (ø 20 mm, type 4/3).
The software depends on the frame grabber. A software development kit (SDK)
and a demo software for first live preview is usually provided by the frame grab-
ber manufacturer.
Serial I/O
To configure the Bonito camera, an asynchronous serial command interface is
provided. By default this command interface is internally routed via the
Camera Link connector O2 (SerTC, SerTFG) or CL1 (Bonito CL-400B/C 200fps),
but the RS232 signals at the 15-pin D-sub connector may also be used.
AVT provides the DeviceConfig software to control the camera via standard PC
RS232 COM ports. Beginning with version 1.2.1 camera control is also possible
via the serial interface of the frame grabber. The frame grabber needs a DLL pro-
vided by the frame grabber’s manufacturer (clser*.dll).
By default the serial interface uses the following parameters:
•
115200 baud
•
8 data bits
•
1 stop bit
•
No parity
•
No handshake
