Camera Link LED lamps
Each connector of the Camera Link Host Interface is associated with a LED lamp mounted on the bracket.
LED lamps mode control
The LampMode feature of the Interface module defines the lamps operation mode:
| ● | When set to Standard (default value), the lamps indicate the state of the Camera Link connection. |
| ● | When set to Dark, all lamps are turned off. |
| ● | When set to Error, all lamps are turned off unless error conditions are detected. |
| ● | When set to Custom, all lamps are controlled by LampCustomValue, a bitfield where each bit is mapped onto a lamp with 1 for orange and 0 for off by the LampCustomLedA … LampCustomLedH boolean features. |
