Camera Link Tap Configuration
Naming Convention
A tap configuration is designated by: <ConfigurationClass>-<TapCount>T<BitDepth>(B<TimeSlots>)
- <ConfigurationClass> is {Base, Medium, Full, Deca};
- <TapCount> is an integer number in range {1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 10} specifying the total number of camera taps;
- <BitDepth> is an integer number in range {8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48} specifying the tap bit depth.
- <TimeSlots> is an integer number in range {2, 3} specifying the number of consecutive time slots required to transfer one data of each tap.
- B<TimeSlots> is omitted when single time slot is sufficient to serve all the taps.
