Introduction

GigE Vision is a standard interface which uses Gigabit Ethernet for machine vision applications.
It was developed primarily by AIA (Automated Imaging Association) members. GigE

Vision is
capable of transmitting large amounts of uncompressed image data through an inexpensive
general purpose LAN cable over long distances.

GigE

Vision also supports the GenICamTM standard which is maintained by the EMVA (European
Machine Vision Association). The purpose of the GenICam standard is to provide a common
program interface for various machine vi si on cameras. By using GenICam, cameras from
different manufactures can seamlessly connect in one platform.

For details about the GigE

Vision standard, please visit the AIA web site,

www.machinevisiononline.org and for GenICam, the EMVA web site, www.genicam.org.

JAI GigE

Vision cameras comply with both the GigE Vision standard and the GenICam standard.

Before using GigE Vision cameras

All software products described in this manual pertain to the proper use of JAI GigE Vision
cameras. Product names mentioned in this manual are used only for the explanation of
operation. Registered trademarks or trademarks belong to their manufacturers.
To use the JAI SDK, it is necessary to accept the “Software license agreement” first.

This manual describes necessary equipment and the details of camera functions.

Software installation

The JAI GigE Vision SDK & Control Tool can be downloaded from the JAI web site at

Camera operation

1. General

This manual covers the digital monochrome progressive scan camera CM-080GE/CM­080GE-RA and color progressive scan camera CB-080GE/CB-080GE-RA

The CM-080GE/CM-080GE-RA/CB-080GE/CB-080GE-RA is a new addition to JAI GigE Vision
compliant camera series. Both the monochrome version CM-080GE/CM-080GE-RA and the
color version CB-080GE/CB-080GE-RA provide a frame rate of 30.08 frames/second at full
resolution. Using vertical binning (CM-080GE/CM-080GE-RA only) and partial scan provides
higher frame rates.
The 1/3" CCD with square pixels offers a superb image quality. The high-speed shutter
function and asynchronous random trigger mode allows the camera to capture high quality
images of fast moving objects.

The color version CB-080GE/CB-080GE-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-080GE/CM-080GE-RA/CB-080GE/CB-080GE-RA also c omply with the GenICam standard
and contains an internal XML files that is used to describe the functions/features of the
cameras. 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.

6.1.1. LUT (Cross point switch ) input and output setting

The LUT works as a cross-point switch which allows connecting inputs and outputs fre ely. 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
reset the camera’s time stamp function, also making it possible to reset and synchronize the
time stamp of multiple cameras.

6.1.2. 12-bit Counter

A 25MHz clock or the camera pixel c loc k (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 and end point.
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.

Fig.7. Generated pulse

Setting example:

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. The pixel clock is 60MHz.

Pulse Generator Setting Example

Fig 8. Pulse generator setting example

The created pulse rises up at the start point and falls down at the end point as shown 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 cloc k (60 MHz) and the pixel clock is
divided by 2400. A pulse f requency 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.

CM-080GE/CM-080GE-RA / CB-080GE/CB-080GE-RA

- 14 -

If the HIGH duration needs to be delayed against incoming trigger, the start poi nt should be
set at “N“. The delay value is N x (1/ 25000).
In the above example, N is “0” which is no delay.
The length, in this case, is 102 clocks.

These settings can be achieved by JAI Control tool which is the part of JAI SDK.

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 per ipheral equipment.
In addition to galvanic separation, the opto-isolated inputs and outputs can cope with a wide
range of voltages; the voltage range of inputs is +3.3V to +24V DC wher eas outputs will handle
+5V to +2V DC.
The below figure shows the functional principle (opto-coupler) of the opto-isolated inputs and
outputs.

7.2. Vertical Binning (CM-080GE/CM-080GE-RA only).

The binning functions can be used to achieve higher frame rate or higher sensitivity. The
drawback is lower resolution.

Vertical binning is done by adding the charge from
pixels in adjacent lines in the horizontal CCD
register. Fig. 13 shows the binning principle.
Resolution and frame
rate for all combinations are shown in the below
table.

Note: The CB-080GE/CB-080GE-RA has the same Bayer sequence for Full and any of partial

scanning as RG. Therefore, comparing full scanning and partial scanning, the center
might be shifted.

As the Pixel Format type, CB-080GE/CB-080GE-RA supports BAYER GB 8 and BAYER GB

10. When these types are selected, the output starts from 2nd line f or all scanni ng.

7.4. CB-080GE/CB-080GE-RA Bayer filter

CB-080GE/CB-080GE-RA is a color camera based on a CCD sensor with a Bayer RGB color
mosaic. The color image reconstruction is done in the
host PC.
The Color sequence in the video signal is the same for
all scanning formats.
The line readout follows LVAL.
The first valid pixel is the same timing as DVAL.

The Bayer color sequence starts with:
RGR for odd numbers.
GBG for even line numbers.

7.5.5 Auto Iris Lens video output (12-pin Hirose connector)

This analogue signal is not routed through the GPIO.
This signal is available at pin 4 of 12-pin Hirose connector. It
can be used for lens iris control in Continuous and RCT modes
only.
The signal is taken from the CCD sensor and is output after the
gain circuit. The video output is without sync. The signal is 0.7
V p-p from <400 Ω AC coupled.

Fig.25. Video output circuit.

To get this signal, the internal DIP switch must be set
as follows.

The auto-iris lens video output is enabled by setting switch
SW600 to ON (two switches to the left). The internal DIP
switch is set to OFF (two switches to the right) as factory default.

8. Network configuration

 For details of the network settings, please refer to the “Getting Started

Guide” supplied with the JAI SDK.

8.1. GigEVision Standard interface

The CM-140GE and CB-140GE series are designed in accordance with the GigE Vision
standard. Digital images are transmitted over Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cables. All
camera functions are also controlled via the GigE Vision interface.

The camera can operate in Continuous mode, providing an endless stream of images.
For capturing individual images related to a specific event, the camera can also be
triggered. For precise triggering, it is recommended to use a hardware trigger applied
to the Hirose 12-pin connector. It is also possible to initiate a software trigger through
the GigE Vision interface. However, when using a software trigger, certain latency
inherent to the GigE interface must be expected. This latency, which manifests itself
as jitter, greatly depends on the general conditions and traffic on the GigE connection.
The frame rate described in this manual is for the ideal case and may deteriorate
depending on conditions.

When using multiple cameras (going through a switch and/or a single path) or when
operating in a system with limited transmission bandwidth the Delayed Readout Mode
and Inter-Packet Delay functions can be useful.

8.2. Equipment to configure the network system

8.2.1 PC

The PC used should have the following performance or better

1) Recommended CPU : Core2 Duo 2.4GHz or better,
Better than Core2 Extreme

2) Recommended memory : 2Gbyte or more

3) Video card : Better than PCI Express Bus Ver.1.0 x16

VRAM should be better than 256MByte, DDR2

4) Other : The resident software should not be used

8.2.2 Cables

GigEVision configures the system by using 1000BASE-T. (100BASE-T can be used with
some restriction. Refer to chapter 8.3.6). In the market, CAT5e (125MHz), CAT6
(250MHz) and CAT7 (600MHz) cables are available for 1000BASE-T. There are
crossover cables and straight through cables available. Currently, as most equipment
complies with Auto MDI/MDI-X, please use straight through cables. (Among crossover
cables, a half crossover type exists, which the Ethernet will recognize as 100BASE-T).

8.2.3 Network card (NIC)

The network card should comply with 1000BASE-T and also have the capability of
JUMBO FRAMES. When the jumbo frame size is set at a larger number, the load on the
CPU will be decreased. Additionally, as the overhead of the packet is decreased, the

transmission will have more redundancy.

8.2.4 Hub

It is recommended to use the metal chassis type due to the shielding performance.

As the hub has a delay in transmission, please note the latency of the unit.

8.3. Recommended Ne twork Configurations

Although the CM-140GE and CB-140GE series conform to Gigabit Ethernet (IEEE 802.3)
not all combinations of network interface cards (NICs) and switches/routers are
suitable for use with the GigE Vision compliant camera.
JAI will endeavor to continuously verify these combinations, in order to give users the
widest choice of GigE components for their system design.

 For details of the network settings, please refer to the “Getting Started

Guide” supplied with the JAI SDK.

8.3.1 Guideline for network settings

To ensure the integrity of packets transmitted from the camera, it is recommended to
follow these simple guidelines:

1. Whenever possible use a peer-to-peer network.

2. When connecting several cameras going through a network switch, make sure it is
capable of handling jumbo packets and that it has sufficient memory capacity.

3. Configure inter-packet delay to avoid congestion in network switches.

4. Disable screen saver and power save functions on computers.

5. Use high performance computers with multi-CPU, hyper-thread and 64-bit CPU,
etc.

6. Only use Gigabit Ethernet equipment and components together with the camera.

7. Use at least Cat5e and preferably Cat6 Ethernet cables.

8. Whenever possible, limit the camera output to 8-bit.

8.3.2 Video data rate (network bandwidth)

The video bit rate for CM-080GE/CM-080GE-RA and CB-080GE/CB-080GE-RA is:

♦ In case using Jumbo Frame, the packet data will be improved 2 %.
♦ For CM-080GE/CM-080GE-RA and CB-080GE/CB-080GE-RA, the jumbo frame can be set at

maximum 4040 Bytes (Factory setting is 1428 Byte). To set Jumbo Frame, refer chapter 8.2.4.

8.3.3 Note for setting pa c ket size

The packet size is set to 1428 as the factory default. Users may enter any value for the
packet size and the value will be internally adjusted to an appropriate, legal value that
complies with the GenICam standard. The packet size can be modified in the GigE
Vision Transport Layer Control section of the camera control tool.

Regarding data transfer rate, a larger packet size produces a slightly lower data
transfer rate. The CM-140GE and CB-140GE sereis can support a maximum of 4040 byte
packets provided the NIC being used has a Jumbo Frames function with a setting of a
4040 bytes or larger.

Caution: Do not set the packe t size larger than the maximum setting available in

the NIC or switch to which the camera is connected . Doing so will cause
output to be blocked.

8.3.5 Simplified calculation (Approximate value)

A simple way to calculate the approximate data transfer rate is the following.

Transfer data = Image width (pixel) x Image Height (pixel) x depth per pixel(depending

on the pixel format) x frame rate / 1,000,000 (convert to mega bit)

In the case of the CM-080GE with the full image and MONO8 pixel format;
The data transfer rate = 1032 x 778 x 8 x 30 / 1000000 = 193 Mbit/s

8.3.6 Note for 100BASE-TX connection

♦ In case of connecting on 100BASE-TX, the maximum packet size should be 1500 byte.
♦ In case of connecting on 100BASE-TX, the specifications such as frame rate, trigger

interval and so on described on this manual cannot be satisfied.

8.4. GigE camera connecting examples

8.4.1 Using a switching hub for 1 port

♦ All cameras and NIC belong to the same subnet
♦ The accumulated transfer rate for all cameras should be within 800Mbps
♦ The packet size and the packet delay should be set appropriately in order

for the data not to overflow in the switching hub.

8.4.2 Connecting a camera to each port of a multi-port NIC

♦ This is the example for using a 4-port NIC
♦ The pair of the connecting camera and the NIC constructs one subnet. As for

the IP configuration, it is appropriate to use the persistent IP.

♦ In this case, each camera can use the maximum 800Mbps bandwidth.

However, the load for the internal bus, CPU and the application software
will be heavy, so a powerful PC will most likely be required.

8.4.3 The data transfer for multiple cameras

8.4.3.1 If delayed readout is not used in continuous mode

♦ The packet delay should be set larger. The data traffic is controlled by the

buffer of the hub. It is necessary to check the buffer value of the unit.

8.4.3.2 If delayed readout is not used in trigger mode

♦ The packet delay should be set larger. The data traffic is controlled by the

buffer of the hub. It is necessary to check the buffer value of the unit.

8.4.3.3 If delayed readout is used

♦ The packet delay should be set smaller, and the packet delay trigger

controls the data traffic. If the camera has a pulse generator, it can control
the data traffic.

9. Functions and operations

9.1. Basic functions

The CM-080GE/CM-080GE-RA and CB-080GE/CB-080GE-RA cameras are progressive scan
cameras with 10 or 8 bit video output in Gigabit Ethernet. An analogue iris video signal (DIP
switch select) can be used for lens iris control.
The camera has 2/3, 1/2, 1/4 or 1/8 partial scanning for faster frame rates. Vertical binning
is also available for a monochrome camer a.
The camera can operate in continuous mode as well as in 4 triggered modes:

- Edge Pre-select (EPS)

- Pulse width Control (PWC)

- Reset continuous (RCT)

- Sequential trigger (EPS)

- Delayed readout (EPS,PWC)

Depending on the timing of the trigger input in relationship to FVAL (camera internal Frame
Valid clock), the start of exposure can be immediate (no-delay, LVAL asynchronous) or
delayed until next LVAL ( LVAL synchronous).
In the following section the functions are described in detail.

9.2. Electronic Shutter

In the GenICam SFNC interface, the electronic shutter is set by Exposure time (microseconds).
The traditional JAI method for shutter setting can also be used including JAI Shutter Mode, JAI
Preset Shutter, JAI Exposure Time Raw and JAI Exposure Time (us). If setting is done using the
SFNC method, these settings are automatically reflected in the traditional JAI settings area.

Shutter

10 preset shutter steps are available: OFF (1/30); 1/60, 1/100; 1/250; 1/500; 1/1,000;
1/2,000; 1/4,000; 1/8,000; 1/10,000 sec.

Programmable Shutter

It is possible to set the shutter speed in the range of 2L to 790L by 1L unit, in case of Full
Frame operation. When 790L is set, it is the equivalent of “OFF (1/30)“ or 33.238ms.

Pulse Width Control

With this mode selected the exposure time is controlled by the width of the trigger pulse. The
minimum trigger pulse width is equal to 2L (84.148 µs)

Minimum Shutter Time 2L Maximum Shutter Time

Normal

42.074µs(1L) * 2L = 84.148 µs

51.259 µs *397L ≈ 20.349 ms

CM-080GE/CM-080GE-RA / CB-080GE/CB-080GE-RA

- 36 -

Exposure Time Abs (GenICam Standard)
This is a function specified in the GenICam standard.
The shutter speed can be entered as an absolute exposure time in microseconds (μs) in
register address 0xA018. The entered absolute time (Time Abs) is then converted to
programmable exposure (PE) value inside the camera.

The below calculating formula shows the relationship between the PE value used by the
camera for the different readout modes and the value entered in register 0xA018. As the
calculation is based on rounding down to the closest integer, prec ise values may not always
occur.

The relation between PE value and Time Abs:
Normal readout PE= 2 + INT (Exposure time -85) µs / (1420/33750000)
V Binning readout PE= 2 + INT (Exposure time -103) µs / (1730/33750000)
INT means integer (rounded down).

The following table shows minimum value and maximum value f or each readout mode.

GPIO in combination with Pulse Width Trigger

More precise exposure time can be obtained by using GPIO in combination with Pulse Width
Trigger mode. The clock generator and counter can be programmed in very fine increments.
As for the setting example, refer to chapter 6.5.1.

9.3. Auto-detect LVAL-sync / a-sync. accumulation

This function replaces the manual setting found in older JAI cameras. Whether acc umulation
is synchronous or a-synchronous in relationship to LVAL depends on the timing of the trigger
input.
When trigger is received while FVAL is high (during readout), the camera works in LVAL­synchronous mode, preventing reset feed trough in the video signal. There is a maximum
jitter of one LVAL period from issuing a trigger and accumulation start.
If trigger is received when FVAL is low, the cameras works in LVAL-asynchronous mode (no
delay) mode. This applies to both pre-select (PS) trigger mode and pulse width control trigger
(PW) mode.

10. Operation Modes

The CM-080GE and CB-080GE series comply with GenICam SFNC (Standard Features Naming
Convention) version 1.3 and the acquisition of the image, the trigger functions, the exposure
settings and so on are different from those used in early versions of these cameras.

Note: In this section, the GUI shown is from the CB-200GE.

10.1. The functions related to GenICam SFNC 1.3

The following functions are the most affected by SFNC 1.3.
Features – Acquisition and Trigger Control
Acquisition mode

The image can be captured in two ways, continuous or single fame.
 Continuous

By executing AcquisitionStart command, the image can be output until AcqusitionStop

Trigger is input.
 Single Frame
By executing AcquisitionStart command, one frame of the image can be output and then

the acquisition is stopped.
Trigger Selector

This can be selected from FrameStart or TransferStart.
 FrameStart
The trigger pulse can take one frame capture.
 TransferStart
The trigger pulse can read out the image stored in the frame memory. This is used for the

delayed Readout
TriggerMode

This selects either trigger mode (ON) or continuous mode (OFF).
TriggerSoftware

This is one of the trigger sources which enables trigger commands to be created using

software. In order to use TriggerSoftware, TriggerSource should be set at Software.
TriggerSource

The trigger source can be selected from the following signals.

CM-080GE/CM-080GE-RA / CB-080GE/CB-080GE-RA

- 39 -

TriggerActivation

This can set how the trigger is activated.

 RisingEdge: The trigger is effective at the rising edge of the pulse.
 FallingEdge: The trigger is effective at the falling edge of the pulse.

ExposureMode

This can select the exposure mode.

 Timed: The exposure is set in units of μ seconds or lines.
 TriggerWidth: The exposure is the same as the trigger width.

The CM-080GE and CB-080GE series have a JAI Acquisition and Trigger Control func tion whic h
is the same as used for previous models and includes 7 types of exposure modes.

Acquisition and Trigger Control and JAI Acquisition and Trigger Control are linked to each
other and if the one is set, the setting parameters are reflected in the other.

CM-080GE/CM-080GE-RA / CB-080GE/CB-080GE-RA

- 40 -

The following is an example: when JAI Acquisition and Trigger Control is set at EPS,
TriggerMode is automatically set ON and ExposureMode is set to Timed.
The exposure time can be set in the JAI Shutter Mode by selecting either lines or
microseconds and the setting values are reflected in the same items of Acquisition and
Trigger Control.

Other parameters such as trigger signal should be set in Acquisition and Trigger Control.
The following description uses JAI Acquisition and Trigger Control and the operation mode can

be selected in JAI Exposure Mode.

10.2. Operation Modes

This camera can operate in 6 primary modes.

1. Continuous Mode Pre-selected exposure.

2. Edge Pre-select trigger mode Pre-selected exposure.

3. Pulse Width Control trigger mode Pulse width controlled exposure.

4.Reset continuous trigger mode Pre-selected exposure

5. Sequential Trigger Pre-selected exposure

6. Delayed Readout Trigger Pre-selected exposure

10.2.1 Continuous operation

For applications not requiring asynchronous external tr igger, but where a continuous stream
of images is required, this mode should be used.
It possible to use a lens with video controlled iris, in this mode.
For timing details, refer to fig.19. through fig. 24.

10.2.2 Edge Pre-select Trigger Mode

An external trigger pulse initiates the capture, and the exposure time (accumulation time) is
the fixed shutter speed set by registers. The accumulation can be LVAL synchronous or LVAL
a-synchronous.
The resulting video signal will start to be read out after the selected shutter time.

For timing details, refer to fig. 19. through fig. 24 and figures 28 and 29.

10.2.4 Reset Continuous (RCT) trigger mode

The RCT mode operates like EPS (edge preselect) mode with smearless function. An
external trigger pulse will immediately stop the video read out, reset and re s tart the
exposure, then operate as normal mode until the next trigger. After the trigger pulse is
input, a fast dump read out is performed. In the CM-080GE/ CB-080GE, this period is

8.3307ms which is 198L. The exposure time is determined by the pre-set shutter speed. If
no further trigger pulses are applied, the camera will continue in normal mode and the
video signal is not output. The fast dump read out has the same effect as “smearless read
out”. Smear over highlight areas is reduced for the trigger frame. The reset continuous
trigger mode makes it possible to use triggering in conjunction with a lens with video
controlled iris.
This mode is available only in LVAL async mode.

To use this mode:

♦ The conditions for this table are that the shutter speed should be set the same for all

sequences.
If the shutter speed is different, the difference of exposure time should be added.

♦ It is recommended to set the exposure time in the order from the shortest to the longer one.
♦ Do not input the trigger just after the sequence is reset. It requires at least 500ms delay.
♦ On the sequential mode, the exposure should be adjusted so that the LVAL a-sync mode can

always be functioned.

10.2.6 Delayed Readout Mode (Pre-Select)

This mode can be used to delay the transmission of a captured image. When sev eral cameras
are triggered simultaneously and connected to the same GigE interface, it allows the cameras
to be read out in sequence, preventing congestion.

The image data is not transmitted directly by the trigger 0 and it is stored in the memory
located at Ethernet Interface. By the falling edge of the soft trigger 1, the image data is
output.

11. JAI control tool

In this section, the general operation of the JAI control tool is explained. For more
regarding the JAI control tool, pl e a se refer to the JAI control tool documentation
in the JAI SDK.

11.1. About GenICamTMSFNC1.3

The CM-080GE and CB-080GE series are now redesigned as conforming to GenICam
SFNC1.3. GenICam SFNC stands for GenICam Standard Features Naming Convention. By
defining the standard cases and the standard features, general-purpose software can
control cameras from any manufacturers which conform to the GenICam standard.

JAI, in the past, used traditional feature names in order to maintain naming continuity
with previous cameras. However, new revisions of cameras comply with GenICam
SFNC feature names, even though the traditional feature names are still maintained.

Terminologies used for functions will be much different from previous models. This
manual explains the basic operation using feature names specified in the GenICam
SFNC 1.3 specification.

The latest version of JAI GigE Vision cameras comply with GenICam SFNC1.3. However,
JAI can offer the following options for customers who use older versions of GIgE Vision
cameras.

JAI provides the following software.

1. Version prior to SFNC 1.3 for older camera version

2. Downgrade to old version from the latest SFNC 1.3 version
Please contact local sales representatives for the details

11.2. JAI SDK Ver.1.3

JAI SDK has also been upgraded to version 1.3.
In a GigE Vision compliant camera, all features are described in the XML file inside
the camera and after connecting JAI Control Tool softwar e , all features are
downloaded to the JAI Control Tool software. If customers use older v ersions of
cameras together with the Control Tool software ver.1.3, feature properties shown in
the Control Tool exhibit old feature names, enabling customers to operate cameras in
a familiar way.

If the latest version of the camera is connected, some traditional JAI feature names
such as JAI Preset Shutter, will display in the Feature Properties in addition to the
newer GenICam SFNC 1.3 names.

These features can be set as usual and settings for those features are reflected
automatically in the GenICam SFNC 1.3 feature names.

CM-080GE/CM-080GE-RA / CB-080GE/CB-080GE-RA

- 53 -

The features shown above will vary depending on the specific camera.

11.3. Examples of camera operation

The following descriptions are based on GenICam SFNC 1.3.

11.3.1 Generic cautions for operation

1. The parameters in the gray part of the control tool cannot be c han ge d.

2. If the image size is changed, the acquisition should be stopped and parameters

set for determining the size.

11.3.2 Connection of camera(s)

Connect camera(s) to Network. After establishing the connection, start the control
tool.
The model name connected to the Network is displayed with connec ting icon.

CB-080GE

When this icon is double-clicked, the camera can communicate with the camera
control tool and the icon is changed.

11.3.3 Camera setting level

The setting level has three layers: beginner, expert and guru. Guru level includes the most

sophisticated functions.

11.4. Input and Output settings

11.4.1 Interfacing with external devices

For interfacing with external devices, the relationship between Line i n/out (Digital I/O) and

the external terminal is fixed. Please refer to 6.1. GPIO (Inputs and outputs).

In the camera control tool, it is displayed as Line 1 –TTL Out1.

11.4.2 Setting of input and output

11.4.2.1 How to assign the signal to Line

This function decides which signal is assigned to Digital I/O (Line 1 to Line 8).
The following is the example to set Line5 – Opt In 1. In this case, the line source is the signal

connected to Opt In 1. The line format is automatically set to Opto Coupled.

The following is the example to set the output signal. It selects the output signal from Line3 –

Optical Out 1 from Line source. In the following example, Exposure Active signal is
output. As the line format, TTL is automatically selected.

14. Appendix

14.1. Precautions

Personnel not trained in dealing with similar electronic devices should not service this camera.
The camera contains components sensitive to electrostatic di scharge. The handling of these
devices should follow the requirements of electrostatic sensitive components.
Do not attempt to disassemble this camera.
Do not expose this camera to rain or moisture.
Do not face this camera towards the sun, extreme bright light or light reflecting objects,
including laser sources.
When this camera is not in use, put the supplied lens cap on the lens mount.
Handle this camera with the maximum care.
Operate this camera only from the type of power source indicated on the camera.
Remove power from the camera during any modification work, such as changes of jumper and
switch settings.

14.2. Typical Sensor Characteristics

The following effects may be observed on the video monitor screen. They do not indic ate any
fault of the camera, but do associate with typical sensor characteristics.

V. Aliasing

When the camera captures stripes, straight lines or similar shar p patterns, jagged image on
the monitor may appear.

Blemishes

All cameras are shipped without visible image sensor blemishes.
Over time some pixel defects can occur. This does not have a practical effect on the
operation of the camera. These will show up as white spots (blemishes).
Exposure to cosmic rays can cause blemishes to appear on the image sensor. Please take care
to avoid exposure to cosmic rays during transportation and storage. I t is recommended using
sea shipment instead of air flight in order to limit the influence of cosmic rays to camera.
Pixel defects/blemishes also may emerge due to prolonged operation at elevated ambient
temperature, due to high gain setting or during long time exposure. It is therefore
recommended to operate the camera within its specifications.

Patterned Noise

When the sensor captures a dark object at high temperature or is used for long time
integration, fixed pattern noise may appear in the image.

14.3. Caution when mounting a lens on the camera

When mounting a lens on the camera dusts particles in the air may settle on the surface of
the lens or the image sensor of the camera. It is therefore important to keep the protective
caps on the lens and on the camera until the lens is mounted. Point the l ens mount of the
camera downward to prevent dust particles from landing on the optical surfaces of the
camera. This work should be done in a dust free environment. Do not touch any of the optical
surfaces of the camera or the lens.
