5.3. Input and output circuits
In the following schematic diagrams the input and output circuits for video and timing signals are
shown.
5.3.1. Iris video output
This signal can be used for lens iris control
in Continuous mode.
The signal for iris video output is taken from the CCD
output and digitized. It goes through the process circuit
and is converted analogue signal via the integrator. This
signal is influenced by gain settings. The signal is 0.7 Vpp
(without sync) from 75 without termination.
NOTE: This function is not available in the PoCL version
5.3.2. Trigger input
An external trigger input can be applied to pin 10 of 12pin Hirose connector (when the command TI=1 has been
set). The input is AC coupled. To allow long pulses the
input circuit is designed as a flip-flop circuit. The leading
and trailing edges of the trigger pulse activate the circuit.
The trigger polarity can be changed by TP=1.
Trigger input level 4 V 2 V.
Trigger can also be applied through the Camera Link
connector, when the command TI=0 has been sent.
NOTE: In the PoCL version trigger can only be
applied through the Camera Link connector
5.3.3. XEEN output
XEEN is on pin 9 on 12-pin HR connector. The output
circuit is 75 complementary emitter followers. It will
deliver a full 5 volt signal.
Output level 4 V from 75. (No termination).
EEN is also found in Camera Link.
NOTE: In the PoCL version EEN only appears on the
Camera Link connector
Fig. 8. XEEN output
5.3.4. Camera Link interface
The digital video is available via Camera Link, with 8 or 10-bit pixel depth, using the CL Base
configuration. The digital output signals follow the Camera Link standard using Channel Link chip
sets.
The data bits from the digital video, FVAL, LVAL, DVAL and EEN are multiplexed into the twisted
pairs, which are a part of the Camera Link. Trigger signals and the serial camera control are feed
directly through its own pairs.
The 26-pin Mini-CL SDR connector pin assignment follows the Camera Link base configuration.

6. Functions and Operations
6.1. Basic functions
The CMCB-140 MCL / CMCB-140 PMCL /CM-140MCL-UV/PMCL-UV cameras are progressive scan
camera with 1.4 Mega pixels monochrome and Bayer mosaic color CCDs. The interface to the host
PC is via digital Mini Camera Link (Mini-CL). Both models output video as 8 or 10 bits. The CB-140
MCL /PMCL outputs raw Bayer video, requiring host based color interpolation.
An analogue iris-video signal can be used for controlling the iris of an auto-iris lens when
operating in continuous mode.
The camera has 2/3, 1/2, 1/4 or 1/8 partial scanning and vertical binning (CM-140 MCL /UV/PMCL/-UV only) for faster frame rates.
There are 2 trigger modes in addition to continuous operation. The Pre-Select and Pulse Width
control are available with a unique automatic LVAL sync or async selection function.
Below the functions are described in detail.
6.1.1. Digital Video Output (Bit Allocation)
The 10-bit digital output is set 890 LSB as 100% video level when CCD output is 200mV.
The white clip level is set at 1023 LSB when CCD output is 230mV.

6.1.2. Electronic Shutter
The CM/CB-140 MCL ,CM/CB-140PMCL and CM-140MCL-UV/PMCL-UV allow selecting shutter speed
in two ways; preset shutter (10 fixed steps) and programmable exposure (in 1051 line period, LVAL,
increments).
Preset Shutter
The following shutter speeds can be selected by command SH=0 through SH=9.
OFF (1/31), 1/60, 1/100, 1/250, 1/500, 1/1000, 1/2000, 1/4000, 1/8000, 1/10000 seconds
Note: UV version is OFF (1/16), 1/30,1/60, 1/100, 1/250, 1/500, 1/1000, 1/2000, 1/4000, 1/10000 seconds
Programmable Exposure (PE)
The exposure time can be programmed in 30.58µs (LVAL period) increments. The range is from 2
LVAL to 1051 LVAL.
Minimum exposure time 2L
Maximum exposure time 1052L
30.584µs x 2(L) = 61.168 µs
30.584µs x 1052 (L) ≈ 32.17ms

74.793 µs x 2(L) = 149.58 µs
74.793 µs x 527 (L) ≈ 39.4 ms
UV version
6.1.3. Continuous operation or triggered operation
The camera can operate in continuous operation applications not requiring asynchronous external
trigger. This mode permits the use of a lens with video controlled iris. The camera will operate at
its maximum frame rate, 31 frames/seconds (16 frames /second for UV) in this mode.
For applications that require an external trigger, the camera can accept an external trigger input
on pin 10 of the 12-pin Hirose connector or via the Camera Link interface. The command "TI" is
used to switch between inputs.
The camera can operate up to 30 frames/second (16 frames /sec. for UV)in triggered operation.
6.1.4. Iris video output.
The iris video output in pin 4 on 12-pin HR is 700 mV for 100% video
out in Camera Link. The iris video signal is taken before the gain
circuit. It is without sync.
The iris video signal can be used for auto iris lens drive in
continuous mode.
NOTE: In the PoCL version this function is not available.

6.1.6. Auto-detect LVAL-sync / async. accumulation
This function replaces the manual setting found in older JAI cameras. Whether accumulation 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 LVAL
synchronous 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.
When 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 trigger (PW) modes.
6.1.7. Starting pixel - Bayer color mosaic
The CB-140MCL/MPCL is a color camera based on a
CCD sensor with a Bayer color mosaic.
The color image reconstruction is done in the host
PC.
The color sequence in the video signal differs from
full scanning to partial scanning. The right hand
drawing shows the color sequence at the image
start.
The starting line number is shown from LVAL.
The first active pixel starts from LVAL, when DVAL
rises.
Even lines start with GBG.
Odd lines start with RGR

6.1.8. Vertical Binning
This function is only available on the CM-140MCL/-UV/PMCL/-UV camera.
Binning mode (Command VB) is a function where the signal charge from 2 adjacent (vertical)
pixels are added together and read out as one pixel. Binning results in half vertical resolution and
higher frame rate. By adding 2 pixels together, the sensitivity is doubled. The charge accumulated
in 2 adjacent lines is added together in the horizontal CCD register. This is done by providing two
pulses to the vertical CCD register for each line readout. Vertical binning can not be used
together with the Partial scan.

6.3.4 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 restart 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-040MCL/ CB-040MCL, this period is
6.77ms which is 215L. 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.
To use this mode:
Set function: Trigger mode RCT
Scanning Full, Partial
Vertical binning ON / OFF (CM-040MCL only)
Shutter mode Preset, Programmable
Shutter speed 1/61(OFF) to 1/10000
Programmable exposure 2L to 596 L
Accumulation LVAL async only
Other functions and settings
Input: External trigger 12-pin Hirose or Camera Link
Important notes on using this mode
Trigger pulse >2 LVAL to <1 FVAL)
Note: When PE is set at 596 or the shutter is set at OFF, EEN is always HIGH.

7.2. Setting functions
7.2.1. Bit allocation. BA=0, BA=1
This command sets the output for either 8-bit or 10-bit.
7.2.2. Partial scan. SC=0 through 4.
The CCD scanning format can be selected between full or partial scanning. With partial scanning
only the vertical central part of the CCD sensor is read out with a higher frame rate. The partial
scan is done by a fast dump read out of the lines in the vertical CCD register down to the top of
the partial image. This central part of the image is read out with normal speed. The lines below
the partial image are read out and dumped with a high speed.
Note: The color sequence for CB-140 MCL/PMCL differs in partial scan modes. Refer to chapter
6.1.2.
7.2.3. Vertical binning. VB=0, VB=1
This function is only for CM-140MCL/PMCL camera.
The CM-140MCL/PMCL has only vertical binning mode. With V binning the pixel charge from 2
adjacent lines are added together in the horizontal CCD register. It is done by double pulses to the
vertical CCD register.
Note: Vertical Binning can not be used together with the Partial scanning.
7.2.4. Shutter mode. SM=0 and SM=1
With SM=0 this function selects the shutter from the 9 fixed steps (SH=0 through SH=9SH).
With SM=1 from programmable in 1051 steps (PE=2 through PE=1052).
7.2.5. Trigger input select. TI=0, TI=1.
This function selects the trigger input to be through Camera Link (TI=0), or as TTL through the 12
pin Hirose connector (TI=1).
7.2.6. Trigger polarity. TP=0, TP=1.
The active trigger polarity is normal low (TP=0). It can be invert it to active high (TP=1).
7.2.7. Gain level. GA=-84 through +336.
GA=0 is 0dB gain, which is normal working point. The range is from -3 dB to +12 dB.
7.2.8. Black level. BL=0 through BL=1023.
Black level (or set-up level) will set the video level for black. Factory setting is 32 LSB for 10bit
or 8 LSB for 8bit.
7.3. Save and Load Functions.
The following commands are for store and load camera settings in the camera EEPROM.
Load settings. LD.
This command will load previous stored settings to the camera. 3 user settings can be stored in
the camera EEPROM. 1 factory setting is also stored in the camera. The settings stored in the last
used user area is used as default settings at power up.

8. Camera Control Tool for CM/CB-140 MCL / CM/CB-140 PMCL
The Camera Control Tool for Windows 2000/XP can be downloaded from www.jai.com.
The control tool contains a camera control program and a developer's kit for integrating the
control tool in your own software. For the integrator and experienced user, the Camera Control
Toll is much more than a program with a window interface. It also provides an easy and efficient
ActiveX interface built for MS Windows 2000/XP. The OCX interface has the ability to connect to
the camera using the serial interface of the PC by reading and writing properties for the camera.
This integration requires simple programming skills within Visual Basic, Visual C++ or similar
languages in a Microsoft Windows environment.
8.1. Camera Control Tool Interface
The Camera Control Tool Software is based on a main Tool Bar and a number of associated Tool
Windows. Each button in the Tool Bar pops up a separate Tool Window when pressed. The layout
of the program can be adjusted by arranging the windows the way it is preferred. The program
will store this information and recreate this layout, when the program is restarted. All Camera
Control Tools have a Communication Window and an About Window. The other window(s) contains
camera control commands.
8.1.1. Camera Control Tool Bar
This is a Camera Control Tool Bar and when the button of each widow, each control GUI can be
initiated.
8.2. The About Window
The about window contains a picture
of the camera and information about
the version of the program, Internet
connection to JAI A/S and access to
the help documents.
The drop-down box labelled "Help File"
will list all files which have the
extension .pdf and that are found in
the program (default) folder.
It is possible to download updated
operation manuals from the jai
website: http://www.jai.com
An updated manual can be saved in the folder address mentioned above and it will automatically
be included in the list of help files.
At the bottom of the windows (all windows but the Communication Window is a colored bar. The
bar is green when the Camera Control Tool is connected to a camera and the camera is turned on.
About Window
Communication Window
Camera Control Window
CMCB-140 MCL/CM-140MCL-UV/CMCB-140 PMCL
30
The bar is red when the Camera Control Tool is not connected to a camera or when the camera is
turned off.
8.3. Communication Window
The Communication Window is used to
connect the Camera Control Tool with
the JAI camera.
Camera Link communication:
Select “Camera Link “at the pull-down
box for Category. Port Name shows DLL
file names (or frame grabber names) for
all Camera Link frame grabbers that are
installed in the pc. This is done by using
a DLL file called "clserial.dll" to upload
all frame grabber DLLs that are found
in the pc.
Just select the option for the frame
grabber that is installed in the pc.
Auto search
Click the auto button to search for a
camera on communication port 1 to
16. The camera control program automatically sends camera request on every communication
port. The user is prompted to use a communication port if a camera answers the request.
This button is only used for RS-232 communication.
Off/On-line mode
The Camera Control Tool Application can run Offline (without a camera attached) and
all functions are fully functional in offline mode.
Off line mode is indicated in The Communication Window, where a status field with
graphic and text indicates the on/off-line status.
Changing the selected communication port (from the communication window)
changes the online/off-line status. If a camera is found on the selected communication port the
application runs online otherwise offline.
Changing the settings in the application will automatically update the camera settings when the
application is online.
If the application looses connection with the camera it will automatically go to offline mode and it
is indicated in the communication window.
Synchronize program and camera
The Camera Control software has the ability to synchronize either the camera
or the program. Click Synchronize camera to write all settings from the
program to the camera or click the Synchronize program to load all settings
from the camera to the program.
Files
When clicking the Write to File or Read from File button, the user is prompted for a file using
a standard file dialog. New files are created if they do not already exist.

Files for camera settings have the extension cam. Information about the communication port is
not stored in the files. All settings are automatically sent to the camera when a file has been
loaded (if the camera is online).
Factory and User Settings
Use the Store button to store the current camera settings into the user settings area in
EEPROM. Current camera settings are not saved when the camera is turned off. To save
current camera settings you have to save them on the available user areas.
Use the Load button to restore previously saved camera settings from either the Factory or the
User EEPROM area.
Write All Camera Data to File.
Click the “Write Camera Data” button to save all camera settings into a
text file. The information that can be saved is:
Model Name, Camera ID, User ID, Firmware Version, Current Settings,
Factory Settings and the available User Areas.
The file is formatted as shown in the picture below:
EEPROM Current Area.
Click the „Get Area‟ button to read the power up settings area number.
8.4. Camera Control Window
The Camera Control Window contains
the fundamental camera setting
functions.
It is possible to set the shutter mode,
Trigger mode, image format, scan
format, gain control and black setting.
8.5. Using the Camera Control Tool
Here is some practical information about the Camera Control Tool:
1. The Camera Control Tool bar is always on top of other windows.
2. When you minimize the Camera Control Tool bar all open windows will close.
3. It is possible to work with the Camera Control Tool when the camera is online and when
the camera is offline.
4. The newer JAI cameras always start up with the last used user area (but for some old
models it will start up with the last saved user area.)
5. The Camera Control Tool saves the last used settings (not the user area), which don‟t have
to be the same as for the last saved user area.
6. The setup file ‟CameraName.ini‟ stores all information about camera settings. When the
program is started the last settings for the program are loaded from the
file ‟CameraName.ini‟

11. Appendix
11.1. Precautions
Personnel not trained in dealing with similar electronic devices should not service this camera.
The camera contains components sensitive to electrostatic discharge. 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.
11.2. Typical Sensor Characteristics
The following effects may be observed on the video monitor screen. They do not indicate any
fault of the camera, but do associate with typical sensor characteristics.
V. Aliasing
When the camera captures stripes, straight lines or similar sharp 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.
It 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.
11.3. 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 lens 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.

11.4. Caution when mounting the camera
When you mount the camera on your system, please make sure to use screws of the
recommended length described in the following drawing. Longer screws may cause
serious damage to the PCB inside the camera.
If you mount the tripod mounting plate, please use the provided screws.
11.5. Exportation
When exporting this product, please follow the export regulation of your own country.
