PCI-1410 can only see noise with non-standard configuration

[xipeng]

Dear all,

     I am trying to test the functionailty of our PCI-1410 but encounter a wierd problem. I am configuring the PCI-1410 as a non-standard frame grabber. The input signals are:

PCLK: 10MHz, HSYNC: 10KHz, VSYNC: 10Hz. And I feed a sinusiodal signal (10Hz, 0.5V) as my input. I was expecting that it shows a gradient intensity; however, all I get is noise, as shown in attachment. The camera file is listed below. I found that I can only upload 3 attachments...

   Can anyone help me out? Thank you so much! 

Sincerely,

A quick note: this has solved -- the signal should be 10KHz, not 10Hz. I didn't find where to delete my post...

Thank you!
