1. Handling Precautions

The camera module must not be used for any nuclear equipment or aerospace equipment with which mechanical failur e or malfun ct io n cou ld res u lt in ser i ou s b od il y in ju r y or l oss of h um a n life . Our warrant y doe s not a pp ly to damages or defects caused by irregular and/or abnormal use of the product.

All specif i cat io n s co n ta in ed herein are su bj ec t to change w it h ou t pr io r n otice. Reproduction in whole or in part is prohibited.

Please observe all warni ngs and cau tions stated bel ow.

Our warranty doe s not apply to damages or malfunctions caused by neglecting these precautions.

 Do not use or store the camera module in the dusty or humid places.  Do not apply excessive force, vibration, or static electricity that could damage the camera. Handle the camera

with caution.

 Do not shoot direct images that are extremely bright (e.g., light source, sun, etc). When extremely strong light

source is sh o t , smear o r b looming m a y o c cu r. When the camera is not in use, please put the pr otection cap on.

 Follow the instructions in Chapter5, “External Connector Pin Assignment”

for connecting the camera module.

Improper connection may cause damages not only to the camera module but also to the connected devices.

 Confirm the mutual ground potential carefully and then connect the camera module to monitors or computers.

AC leaks from the connected dev ices ma y caus e dama ges or dest r oy the camer a mod ule .

 Do not apply excessive voltage. (Use only the specified voltage.) Unstable or improper power supp ly vol tag e

may cause damages or malfunction of the camera assembly.

 Do not disassemble the camera. The camera once disassembled shall be out of warranty.

Settings shall be restored to the initial settings when UserSetDefault is executed. This can be done only when its Link Configuration is CXP-1 (CxpLinkConfiguration). Unless otherwise UserSetSa ve is execu ted , the se tt in gs w ould not be saved. If you wish to save the setting values, execute UserSetSave. Doing so, the setting values are saved in the camera internal ROM. And, the saved settings are reflected when the camera is turned on n ex t time.

This is to set how to inp u t triggers of external trigger s yn c m od e.

CXP_Host : This is to use Low Speed uplink of CoaXPress to input triggers via coaxial cable connected to a frame

grabber board.

LineIn : This is to input triggers via No. 5 pin of the 6pin circular conne cto r of the camer a rear.

・TriggerSoftware

When this command is executed, a trigger is generated in the camera and images for 1 frame are captured. Please be noted that time accuracy with this trigger is not so precise as the trigger generated by TriggerSource explained the above. Only TriggerSelectorAndActivation --- FrameStartRisingEdge mode can be used

as Acquis ition Cont rol mode.

7.3.2 External Trigger Sync Mode

This is a mode to input external trigger signals to capture images by any preferred timings. Some delay shall be considered from when camera recognized the trigger edge to when actual exposure starts.

Please refer to the delay time as below.

Notes f o r tri g ge r pu ls e inp u t ti min g

・

A trigger pu lse fo r the n ext fr a me can be input while reading out. However, please do not input a trigger pulse to end exposure while reading out signals for the prior frame. (In other words, please avoid inputting a trigger to start reading the next frame while reading out signals for the prior frame.)

Notes for the delay time between trigger pulse and actual exposure start

・

Due to th e i ma g e s e ns or ’s features, there will be a timing difference between normal readout operation (exposure for

the next frame starts after reading out completes.) and overlapping readout operation (exposure for the next f ra me starts while reading out.). There are some gap of timing between when a trigger is input to the image sensor, and when exposure actually starts.

※ The variable value of delay time is determined depending on the settings of its frame rate and exposure time.

Values shall not be changed randomly under fixed condition.

□ Fixed Trigger Shutter Mode

This is a mode to start exposure by the inputting trigger signals, and to set its exposure time manually or with preset.

・ Set "TriggerSelectorAndActivation" to "FrameStartRisingEdge" or "FrameStartFallingEdge". ・ Trigger c ycle need s to be longer than FVAL period (

≒1/frame rate).

・ Trigger cycle needs to be longer than the exposure time. ・ Trigger operation is CLK Sync HV Sync Reset. ・ Trigger pulse width to be input shall be over 30us. ・ The maximum exposure time depends on ROI settin g, "Pi x elF or mat", and Link configuration.

□ Pulse Width Trigger Shutter Mode

This is a mode to start exposure by the inputting trigger signals, and to set its exposure time with trigger pulse width.

・ Set "TriggerSelectorAndActivation" to "FrameStartLevelHigh" or "FrameStartLevelLow". ・ Trigger cycle needs to be longer than FVAL period (

≒1/framerate).

・ Trigger operation is CLK Syn c H-V Sync Reset. ・ The minimum pulse width shall be 100µs.

･ Functionally, there is no upper limitation. However, at long exposure, some noises, lines, Pixel-wise FPN, and

shading might be noticeable.

9. Sequence Contro l Function

This is a function to select one set of parameter out of the preset several para me t er s et s p er tr ig ge r in put, and apply it to the camera.

・ The maximum eight kinds of parameter sets can be se t in adv an ce . The following parameters can be set per

parameter set.

Settable parameter： Shutter and Gain.

・ Operation sequence is specified as "Index". Specify the parameter set number to be applied for the maximum of

eight indexes.

・ There are three control modes; trigger mode, burst mode, and index mode. ・ Please refer to the chart below for the settable AquisitionMode (Camera operational mode) and Sequen cerA ctiv a tion

(Start operation) correspond to each sequence mode.

9.1 Basic Operation for Sequence Control

Please follow the step-by-step instructions bel ow to u se sequen ce cont r ol function .

① AquisitionControl --- TriggerSelectorAndActivation Setting

This is to set camera oper at ional mode.

② Sub-sampling, ROI settings

Please turn OFF SubsamplingMode. Please set ROI of ImageFormatControl to ROIQuickChangeOff.

This does not work with sequence control function.

③ Set the parameter table (Sequen ce rParamete rSe tSelec tor ) for sequenc e

Please set ExposureTime and Gain of each parameter set.

④ Set the parameter set to be used for sequence（ParameterIndexNumber), index loop count

(IndexLoopCount), entire sequence loop count (SeqencerLoopCount), and the range of index to be used. (ActiveIndexNumber)

SequencerControl --- SequencerActivation

⑤

This is to set the start operation of sequence mode. By setting any preferred [Sequenc erAc tiva ti on ] from Off, the camera will become stan d-by status for a trigger.

⑥ Input a trigger pulse to start sequence control function.

※ Notes

・ Link configuration shall be determined in advance to start each setting. ・ Restrictions on trigger input timing for sequence control operation are the same as the one for normal mode. ・ SequencerActivation shall be turned OFF once, before setting settings for sequence control. ・ With SequencerMode, UserSetSave and UserSetDefault are invalid, therefore, set them after turning power ON.

(With other setti n gs f o r seq ue n ce, UserSetSave and UserS e tD e fault are valid).

・ If any triggers had been input to the camera, s equen ce st ar ts w hen i t is set t o other than SequencerActivation O FF.

Do not input any triggers wh en chan ging Sequ encer Ac tiv atio n setting.

・ For exposure time to input to each parameter set, please refer to the maximum exposure time in the chart of

Exposure Time: Manual Shutter Mode, in Section 8.2

・ In case of burst mode, it stops at the last screen when sequence control is completed. And, if a trigger is input

then, it operates to capture image for one frame with the last status of the parameter set. To restart burst mode operation, turn OFF Seque n cerActivati on once.

.

・ Turn SequncerActivation OFF to return to the status before sequence control function was operated.

9.2 Trigger Mode Operation and Burst Mode Operation Outline

This is a mode to specif y In dex t r ans ition fl ow in advance. The repeating count for each Index, the number of the Index

to be used, and Loop count can be set.

・ Trigger Mode

Index repeat count is added up every time external tri gg e r is inp ut , an d its specif ie d pa r a m eter set is app lied to the camera.

・ Burst Mode

It operates as the same way as in ternal sync mode free run. Sequence starts by a trigger, Index repeat count increments automatically by a camera internal trigger, and the specified parameter set is applies to the camera.
