CV-M10BX/CV-M10RS

6. F unctions and Operation

Apart from the standard continuous operation, the CV -M10 features two external asynchronous trigger modes, Edge Pr e­select and Pulse Width Control mode. These 2 external trigger modes can operate with either H reset or H non-reset. In Edge
Pre-select and H reset, the internal HD is reset on the falling edge of the trigger and the exposure starts. For Pulse Width
Control and H reset, the rising edge of the trigger will stop the exposure and reset the internal HD. In H non-reset, the
exposure will be synchronized to the internal HD. It will start on the first HD after the trigger negative going edge.

6-1. Input/Output of HD/VD Signal

6.1.1. Input of External HD/VD signals

This setting is factory pre-set. The video output is synchronized with external HD/VD signals if applied. If no ext. HD is
connected, the camera will switch to the internal X-tal controlled HD sync. If no ext. VD is connected, the camera will
continue with its internal VD.
The external HD/VD signal should be 4.0 Vp-p ±2.0V from a 75 ohm source. In case of TTL level input 2.0 to 5.0V the 75 ohm
termination can be removed by open JP3/JP6 on PK8189A board.

6.1.2. Output of Internal HD/VD signals

In order to output internal HD/VD signal 4.0Vp-p from a 75 ohm source, a jumper setting is required. JP1/JP4 on PK8189A
board is to be open, and JP5/JP7 are to be short.

6.2. Continuous operation

For application that do not require asynchronous external trigger , but run in continuous oper ation, this mode is used. SW1­4 T rigger select on camera rear is set to ON for normal internal trigger mode. The shutter time or exposure time are selected
by SW1-1 to SW1-3 on camera rear (and SW1-1 to SW1-4 on PK8206 for BX versions). The setting can be done via RS 232C for
the RS versions.
The shutter time can be selected within the following range:

Normal shutter 8 step. 1/50 to 1/10,000 sec. for CCIR. 1/60 to 1/10,000 sec. for EIA
High speed shutter 8 step. 1/25,000 to 1/917,000 sec for CCIR.

1/20,000 sec. to 1/800,000 sec. for EIA

Low speed shutter 8 step. 2 fields to 16 fields for CCIR and EIA

CV-M10BX/CV-M10RS

6.3. External Trigger Mode

External trigger mode of CV-M10 allows 2 different driving modes:
1 Edge Pre-select mode. (Asynchronous reset and exposure start by an ext. trigger)
2 Pulse Width Control mode. (Exposure control by the low period of the ext. trigger)
For both there are two trigger modes. H reset and H non-reset. H non-reset mode allows input of synchronized external
trigger and external HD.
The trigger input is AC coupled, so there is a maximum pulse width for the trigger pulse about 1 msec. The signal level must
be 4.0V p-p +/- 2.0V on the input, which is non-terminated. The trigger input can be changed to 75 ohm by shorting JP10. See
instructions in "8. Jumper Settings".

6.3.1. Edge Pre-select Trigger Mode

This trigger mode can operate in H reset mode or H non-reset mode.
In H reset mode the falling edge of the trigger will immediately reset the internal HD and start the exposure. The trigger input
should be >2 µsec. to <1 msec. If the camera is synchronized to an external HD, there are some requirements to the phase
between the ext. HD and the Ext. trigger. The falling edge of the trigger should be within 4.4 msec. from the falling edge of
the ext. HD. Otherwise the jitter will be too high. (See fig. 6.3)
In H non-reset mode the exposure will start at the first internal HD after the trigger. The trigger input should be >64 µsec. to
<1msec. An external trigger pulse initiates the capture, and the exposure time (accumulation time) is governed by the fixed
shutter speed set up by the rear panel DIP-switches, (internal switch for BX version.) or via RS-232C. The resulting video
signal will start to be read out after the selected shutter time. The WEN pulse indicates the start of valid video signal. Refer
to timing charts for details. A new trigger pulse must not be applied before the video read out has been finished.

T o use this mode
Set: SW1-4 on BX rear to OFF for random trigger. For RS select trigger mode.

AA AA

A=4.4

µ

S

4.0V(p p)
±1.0V

This trigger mode can operate in H reset mode or H non-reset mode.
In H reset mode the exposure will start immediately at the falling edge of the trigger. (The internal H will not be reset). The
exposure will end and the internal H will be reset at the rising edge of the trigger.
In H-non-reset mode the trigger and HD is synchronized. The exposure will start at the first HD pulse after the falling edge
of the trigger. The exposure stops at the trigger rising edge. The trigger pulse can be anything between >1H and <625H. To
avoid jitter , the camera should be synchronized to an external HD. There are some r equirements to the phase between the
ext. HD and the Ext. trigger. The falling and rising edge of the trigger should be within 4.4 µsec. from the falling edge of the
ext. HD. (See fig. 6.3)

CV-M10BX/CV-M10RS

The resulting video signal will start to be read out after the trigger rising edge. The WEN pulse indicates the start of valid
video signal. Refer to timing charts for details.
A new trigger pulse must not be applied before the video read out has been finished.

T o use this mode:
Set: SW1-4 on BX rear to OFF for random trigger. For RS select trigger mode

JP12 on PK8206 (BX ver.) or PK8190 (RS ver.) Short for Pulse Width Control

SW1-1 through SW1-3 on BX rear to ON (1/10,000) For RS select 1/10,000
and SW1 on (BX) PK8206 for Normal shutter.

Note: For CV-M10RS the selection of Edge Pre-select, Pulse Width Control H Reset and H non-reset cannot be done by

RS232C. In Pulse Width Control Mode the shutter speed must be set at 1/10000 sec.

7.3. T rigger select

7.3.1. Normal Shutter mode

When the trigger select SW1-4 is ON, the camera is in normal mode. The camera is running continuously with an exposure
as selected with SW1-1 to 3. For BX the shutter mode is selected with the internal SW1 on PK8206. For the RS version 232C
does the selection.

7.3.2. Ext. Trigger mode

When the trigger select SW1-4 is OFF , the camera is in random trigger mode. Here an external trigger pulse will start the
exposure. Depending of JP12 and JP13 setting on PK8206, the camera will operate in edge pre-select or pulse width control
mode with H reset or H non-reset.

7.4. Scanning Mode

7.4.1 Interlaced mode

When SW1-5 is OFF , the scanning is interlaced, and the image is read out as 2 fields on the 2 video outputs. Each output is
a normal composite interlaced video signal, EIA or CCIR. Field 1 and field 2 from the CCD sensor are alternately placed on
video1 and video 2 output. In this way each output is a normal interlaced video signal. By combining the 2 video outputs, a
full progressive scanned frame is the result. In this way a full frame can be read out up to 50 times/second for CCIR or 60
times/sec for EIA.

Note: There are some limitations to the video 2 output concerning gain settings. (See 7.6.1)

- 9 -

CV-M10BX/CV-M10RS

7.4.2. Non interlaced mode

With SW1-5 ON the camera is in non-interlaced mode. The video is read out on video 1 as a full progressive scanned frame.
The frame rate can be up to 25 for CCIR and 30 for EIA.

7.5. Gamma Correction

SW 1-6 will select the gamma correction. OFF is gamma 1.0, which is linear and normally used for vision. ON is gamma 0.45,
which is non-linear.

7.6. Gain Control/RS 232C control

SW1-7 and SW1-8 has different functions on CV-M10BX and CV -M10RS.

7.6.1. Gain control on CV-M1 0BX

SW1-7 OFF and SW1-8 OFF is fixed gain. Here the gain is fixed for the 2 video outputs. Can be adjusted by internal
potentiometers. (See "9. Internal Adjustments.")
SW1-7 OFF and SW1-8 ON is rear potentiometer for gain setting. This will only work on video 1 output.
SW1-7 ON and SW1-8 OFF is the AGC mode. It will only work on video 1 output. The AGC level can be adjusted by an internal
potentiometer. (See "9. Internal Adjustments.")

7.6.2. RS232C control on CV-M1 0RS

SW1-7 and SW1-8 OFF will enable the settings from the SW1 on rear.
SW1-7 and SW1-8 ON will enable the RS232C serial input for camera control.

Notes:The setting should be done with power off. If the RS camera should be used with rear switch setting, the user setting

from RS232C should be in the normal shutter range.

By shift to the low speed range it can take up to 20 sec. before the camera operates correctly.

7.7. CV-M10RS Serial Interface for Controls

The RS-232C serial interface specification for CV-M10 is: 9600 Baud, 8 data bit, 1 start bit, 1 stop bit, and no parity.
Functions, which can be controlled by the RS-232C interface, are:
Shutter speed All shutter times as shown in 7.2.2
Trigger select Continuous, T rigger ed
Scanning mode Interlaced, non-interlaced
Levels Manual gain, AGC level, black level and white clip level

Notes:The following cannot be controlled via RS232C:

Gamma 1.0 - 0.45
Trigger mode: Edge Pre-select, Pulse Width Control, H reset and H non-reset

Handle this camera with the maximum care.

Operate this camera only from the type of power source indicated on the camera.
Power off the camera during any modification such as changes of jumper and switch setting.

13.2. T ypical CCD Characteristics

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

V. Smear

Due to an excessive bright object such as electric lighting, sun or strong reflection, vertical smear may be visible on the
video monitor screen. This phenomenon is related to the characteristics of the Interline Transfer System employed in the
CCD.

V. Aliasing

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

Blemishes

Some pixel defects can occur , but this does not have en effect on the pr actical operation.

Patterned Noise

When the CCD camera captures a dark object at high temperature or is used for long time integration, fixed pattern noise
(shown as white dots) may appear on the video monitor screen.
