We are using the DLP® NIRscan™ Evaluation Module. At power up, the Sitara initializes the DLPC350 to Video Display Mode. At this point the VSYNC, HSYNC, and PCLK signals are active. After initialization all communication and setup to DLPC is then done using USB commands through the USB interface. The module is commanded to Pattern Sequence Mode using Trigger Mode 1. We send the external trigger – TRIG_IN_2 and monitor TRIG_OUT_1.
The issue is, when we enter Pattern Sequence Mode, the DLPC350 sends TRIG_OUT_1 intermittently before TRIG_IN_2 is sent . We are monitoring these signals with an oscilloscope. The DLPC350 "locks up" and does not send patterns or TRIG_OUT_1 even after TRIG_IN_2 is sent.
Although the DLPC350 is in Pattern Display Mode, the Sitara is still sending the VSYNC, HSYNC, and PCLK signals. Could these signals be causing the issue.
The following warning in the programming guide seems to indicate that these signals should be inactive.
