LQ-050CL

1. General

The LQ-050CL is a 4CCD line scan camera using four 512 pixel line sensors mounted on a prism, for
the R, G,B and NIR channels. It operates with a 40 MHz pixel clock, resulting in a maximum line rate
of 70,922 lines per second.
The camera outputs digital data in 4 x 8 bits or 4 x 10 bits format via Camera Link. The camera is
configured by software through the serial communication port of the Camera Link interface, or via
RS-232C through a 12-pin Hirose connector.
The camera accepts M52 mount or F-mount lens.

The LQ-050CL is a suitable camera for various applications such as inspection of fruits,
vegetables ,circuits boards or electronic/mechanical parts, as the NIR image can catch scratches or
blemishes on object surfaces which the RGB color image cannot find.

The latest version of the operation manual can be downloaded from www.jai.com .
The latest camera control tool for the LQ-050CL can be downloaded from www.jai.com .

For camera revision history, please contact your local JAI distributor

*1) Note: Rear protrusion on M52 mount lens must be less than 13mm.
*2) Note: When a CameraLinkTM cable is connected to the camera, please do not excessively tighten

screws by using a driver. The CameraLink receptacle on the camera might be damaged.

For security, the strength to tighten screws is less than 0.291 Newton meter (Nm). Tightening
by hand is sufficient in order to achieve this.

*3) Note: The depth of mounting hole is 5.5mm . If the longer screws than 6mm are used,

they may damage the circuit board inside.

5.3. Input and output circuits

5.3.1 Trigger input

The External Trigger signal can be
applied either through the Camera
Link connector or at pin 10 of the
12-pin Hirose connector. The
command to change this setting is TI
(Trigger Input). TI=0 for Camera Link
connector (factory default) and TI=1
for 12-pin Hirose connector. The
input via the 12-pin Hirose connector
is AC coupled.
To allow long pulses, which may be
required when using the Pulse Width
Control (PWC) trigger mode, the

input

circuit is designed as a flip-flop circuit. The leading and trailing edges of the trigger pulse
activate the circuit.
The trigger input polarity can be changed by the command TP. At the 12-pin Hirose
connector the External Trigger input is 4V ± 2V (TTL). It can be changed to 75 ohm
termination by a DIP switch setting (SW 1).

Fig. 6 Trigger input (12-pin Hirose)

LQ-050CL

5.3.2 EEN / XEEN output (Exposure ENable)

This output corresponds to the
exposure (accumulation) time of the
camera. It works together with all
operation modes. It is, however, not
active when the test pattern
function is enabled.
The EEN signal is available at the
Camera Link connector and at the
12-pin Hirose connector at the same
time.
At the Camera Link connector this
signal has positive logic.
At pin 9 of the 12-pin Hirose
connector the signal has negative
logic, and is therefore named XEEN.
The output circuit is a 75 ohm
complementary emitter follower. The circuit is powered from the 5V supply, resulting in

an

output level of more than 4V. It is not terminated.

6. Functions and Operation

6.1. Basic functions

Fig.9 Signals flow

The LQ-050CL uses four high-performance CCD line scan image sensors mounted on a prism
block. During exposure, the incoming light is converted to electrons (electric charge) in

the

photodiodes (active pixels). The transfer gate controls the transfer of charge from
photodiodes to the shift register. Activating the transfer gate terminates the exposure
cycle, transfers the charge to the Horizontal Shift Register (2-phase buried channel CCD
shift register) and starts a new exposure cycle. The line is subsequently read out in a

single

sequence starting with pixel 1.
The exposure time is normally the same as the cycle time (in No-Shutter mode). By using

the

Exposure Control Gate (in Shutter-Select or Pulse Width Control trigger modes) the
exposure time can be individually set to be shorter than the cycle time (the inverse of line
rate). This also allows a fixed exposure time, independent of the line rate. In the LQ-

050CL

the exposure time can be set individually for all four channels.

6.2.1 No-Shutter mode with internal trigger

In this mode the camera does not accept an external trigger signal, as the line rate is
generated from an internal clock (user programmable, command LR). The exposure time
is directly proportional to the line rate (T

exp

= 1/line rate). This mode is used when there
is no external trigger signal available, and the speed of the object is fixed or can be pre­determined.

The line rate can be varied from 1 line period (L) to 1024L in 1 clock (25ns) steps (19 kHz
down to 18 Hz). When using this mode, a special function called “One-push auto line

rate” is available. This mode automatically maintains a constant output level by changing

the line rate. The line rate is automatically adjusted in order to maintain sensitivity
without reducing the S/N ratio.

To use this mode:
Set function Trigger mode, No-Shutter TR=0
Trigger origin, internal TG=0
Line rate LR=564 to 577536 clocks

(14.10µs to 14.438ms in 25ns

increments)
Optional functions when using this mode:
One-push auto line rate AR=0
Auto line rate reference AL=0 to 1023
One-push white balance WB
