Hawkeye 1600T I/O Cable Example


The Hawkeye line of products that was aquired last fall by Microscan has a smart camera model 1600T. We recently received our Microscan branded unit and have begun looking for applications and building a more meaningful demo kit.

The 1600T doesn't come with a breakout board to connect a trigger signal or output signals like some cameras but has all the I/O coming out of a cable.

Along with Microscan-Renton's help, we were able to translate the terminology and come up with a workable I/O scenario.
Using mating Turc style connectors we're able to make the Trigger and Power work in a more common fashion and add LED's for the discrete output signals.
