Overview:	The HEGD6 is a Granddaughter module for connecting digital cameras to Hunt Engineering TIM-40 modules. It is used in conjunction with a base module providing Granddaughter sockets. There are several RS-422 I/O connectors to accommodate a wide range of digital cameras. Single or multiple cameras can input 8/16/32-bit data, providing timing signals are common. The data can be presented to the base module as; one pixel per 32 bit word, 2 pixels/word or 4 pixels/word. The packing method, pixel rate and region of interest govern the data bandwidth from the HEGD6. If the bandwidth of the base module (e.g. 10MB/s for HETBASEIO) is exceeded then a red LED will indicate data is being lost. The timing signals commonly required by cameras (pixel clock, linesync, integration time, framesync etc.) can be provided by a software programmable timing generator on the HEGD6. This is programmed using the input FIFO of the Granddaughter module. Many digital cameras, (e.g. from Dalsa) can be interfaced with the HEGD6. A Xilinx Gate array and optional components enable semi-custom versions to provide different options for the Control I/Os, or logical use of the control signals.
