The analog camera interface also includes a serial port that is used to control camera functions
directly, like gain and exposure, for supported JAI cameras.
I/O Connections
The VA4x interfaces I/O through the 25-pin D-Sub connector on the back panel (Figure 2, page
12). The I/O pin designations are as follows:

The application software (iNspect and iLabel) overrides I/O settings in the Camera Configuration
File, defining the trigger inputs, strobe output, and decision outputs.
Connecting a Firewire camera may reassign the I/O channel numbers in Sherlock.
