1. General

This manual covers the digital monochrome progressive scan camera CM-040GE/CM­040GE-RA and color progressive scan camera CB-040GE/CB-040GE-RA

The CM-040GE/CM-040GE-RA/CB-040GE/CB-040GE-RA are a new additions to JAI GigE Vision
compliant camera series. Both the monochrome version CM-040GE/CM-040GE-RA and the
color version CB-040GE/CB-040GE-RA provide a frame rate of 61.15 frames/second at full
resolution in continuous operation. Using vertical binning (CM-040GE/CM-040GE-RA only) and
partial scan provides higher frame rates.
The 1/2" CCD with square pixels offers a superb image quality. The high-speed shutter
function and asynchronous random trigger mode allow the camera to capture high quality
images of fast moving objects.

The color version CB-040GE/CB-040GE-RA, based on CCD sensor with primary RGB Bayer
mosaic filter, outputs raw Bayer images. Host-based color interpolation is required to display
or save color images.

The CM-040GE/CM-040GE-RA/CB-040GE/CB-040GE-RA also comply with the GenICam standard
and contains an internal XML file that is used to describe the functions/features of the
camera. For further information about GigE®Vision standard, please go to

www.machinevisiononline.org and about GenICamTM, please go to www.emva.org.

As an application programming interface, JAI provides an SDK (Software Development Kit).
This SDK includes GigEVision Filter Driver,JAI control tool, software documentation and code
examples.

The JAI SDK can be downloaded from www.jai.com

The latest version of this manual can be downloaded from www.jai.com

For camera revision history, please contact your local JAI distributor.

2. Camera nomenclature

6. GPIO (General purpose inputs and outputs)

6.1 Overview

All input and output signals pass through the GPIO (General Purpose Input and Output) module.
The GPIO module consists of a Look-Up Table (LUT – Cross-Point Switch), 4 Pulse Generators
and a 12-bit counter. In the LUT, the relationship between inputs, counters and outputs is
governed by internal register set-up.

On the above block diagram, Trigger 0 is used for Exposure and Trigger 1 is used for Delayed
Readout. The Time Stamp Reset can reset the time stamp complied with GigE Vision standard.
This is used for having the same time stamp in case of using multiple cameras.

The blocks shown in the above diagram have the following functionality:

6.1.1. LUT (Look Up Table)

The LUT works as a cross-point switch, which allows connecting inputs and outputs freely.
The signals LVAL_IN, DVAL_IN, FVAL_IN and EEN_IN all originate from the camera timing
circuit.
Trigger 0 is connected to the camera’s timing circuit and is used for initiating triggered
exposure. Trigger 1 is used for Delayed Readout mode. The Time Stamp Reset signal is used to
reset the camera’s time stamp function, also making it possible to reset and synchronize the
time stamp of multiple cameras.

CM-040GE/CM-040GE-RA / CB-040GE/CB-040GE-RA

- 10 -

6.1.2. 12-bit Counter

A 25MHz clock or the camera pixel clock (33.75MHz) can be used as a source. The counter has

a “Divide by N”, where N has the range 1 through 4096, allowing a wide range of clock

frequencies to be programmed. Setting Value 0 is bypass, setting value 1 is 1/2 dividing and
setting value 4095 is 1/4096 dividing.

6.1.3 Pulse Generators (0 to 3)

Each pulse generator consists of a 20bit counter. The behavior of these signals is defined by
their pulse width, start point, end point and number of repetitions.
The pulse generator signals can be set in either triggered or periodic mode.
In triggered mode, the pulse is triggered by the rising edge/falling edge/high level or low
level of the input signal.
In periodic mode, the trigger continuously generates a signal that is based on the configured
pulse width, starting point and end point.

6.2. Optical Interface

The control interface of the C3 GigE Vision camera series has opto-isolated inputs and outputs,
providing galvanic separation between the camera’s inputs /outputs and peripheral
equipment. In addition to galvanic separation, the opto-isolated inputs and outputs can cope
with a wide range of voltages; the voltage range for inputs is +3.3V to +24V whereas outputs
will handle +5V to +24V.
The below figures shows the functional principle (opto-coupler) of the opto-isolated inputs
and outputs.

6.4.3. Pulse generators (20 bit x 4)

There are 4 pulse generators (designated 0 through 3) that can be used to create various
timing scenarios by programming start point, endpoint, length and repeats.

The following example shows the FVAL input to pulse generator. The pulse generator creates
the pulse using FVAL and the pulse is output through GPIO PORT 1.

Start Point = 0 End Point = 99

Length = 102

Clock Source=Pixel Clock ( 60MHz)
Clock Pre-scaler = 2399 ⇒　25KHz

1/25KHz = 40µs

Pulse Generator Clear = 4: Rising Edge

Pulse Generator 0 OUT

Repeat counter: 0 to 255
=0: Continuously repeated

Pulse Generator Setting Example

Fig 9. Pulse generator setting example

The created pulse rises up at the start point and falls down at the end point as show above.
Accordingly, the High duration is (End point – Start point) clocks x (1/ Pulse gen. frequency).

In the above example, the original oscillation uses pixel clock (60 MHz) and the pixel clock is
divided by 2400, a pulse frequency of the generator is 25 KHz (60000000/2400). As the start
point is 0 and the end point is 99, the pulse having 100 x 1/25000 = 4ms width is created.

If the HIGH duration needs to be delayed against incoming trigger, the start point should be
set at “N“. The delay value is N x (1/ 25000).

In the above example, the N is “0” which is no delay.
The length, in this case, is 102 clocks.
