3 Illumination Optics and Lighting External Illumination Control and Wiring The Vision HAWK C-Mount Smart Camera supports external lighting with Microscan’s NERLITE Smart Series lights. The diagram below demonstrates how the camera and light can be configured with the QX-1 interface device. The light is controlled using the Lighting control in the Camera configuration settings of AutoVISION software. In Strobe mode, the external illuminator is strobed with the exposure of the camera to maximize light for the short exposure times needed in dynamic applications. ON/OFF allows the external illuminator to be enabled and disabled using the Vision HAWK’s I/O.
