SERIES 1. Precautions 1-1. General ■ Do not drop or damage the device ■ Do not disassemble, repair or alter the device ■ Keep the machine not to be stained with the alien substances ■ Contact your nearest distributor in case of trouble or problem.
SERIES 2. Overview IC-M25 is a mono area scan CMOS camera and IC-C25 is a color area scan CMOS camera. IC-x25 has 25 million pixels resolution. These Cameras are suitable for a wide range of application within factory Automation, an also for application outside the factory floor, such as AOI(Automatic Optical Inspection), High-end surveillance and medical.
SERIES 3.2 Electrical shutter specification ■ Shutter Speed : -. Shutter OFF or 1/1,000,000 to 10 sec -. The exposure time at shutter OFF is different depending -. on the reading mode.(Factory default : Shutter OFF) ■ Random Trigger Shutter ON / OFF switching (Factory default) -.

SERIES multiplexed signal output interface. The output driver is NS type DS90CR287, and the receiver is NS type DS90CR288. The data bits from the digital video, FVAL, LVAL and DVAL 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.
SERIES Pin No Signal Name INPUT Trigger + INPUT Trigger - GROUND OUTPUT Strobe Output Fig 4.7 Control Connector 4.6 Trigger Input Circuit Following figure shows trigger signal input circuit of 4 pin connector. Trigger signal entered is delivered to internal circuit through photo coupler. Minimum trigger width that can be recognized at camera is 5µs.
SERIES Fig 4.5 Strobe Output Schematic 5. Functions and Operations 5.1 Basic Functions The IC-25M cameras is a progressive scan camera with 25 Mega pixels monochrome or Bayer mosaic color CMOS. The interface to the host PC is via digital Camera Link.

The pixel array is integrating incident light for the part of the isvi SERIES integration phase during which the shutter is open. As for the previous example, the shutter opens again after the end of the readout phase.
SERIES Fig. 5-2 Controlling the SHUTTER Output 5.2 Trigger operation Trigger mode of camera is divided into Free-Run mode where image is synchronized to Internal Trigger signal created inside camera, and External Sync mode where image is synchronized to the trigger signal entered in external port.
SERIES 5.1.3 External Sync Mode In External Sync Mode, camera keeps standby status until trigger signal is entered and performs image transmission (Frame Transfer) after exposure process if trigger input occurs as shown in Fig. 7.4. To operate camera in External Sync mode, it is...

SERIES ▷ When new trigger input occurs in Exposure section while Exposure Source is set in Program, the signal is ignored. It is the case that exposure setting value is set longer than trigger input cycle, and since it is not synchronized for all trigger signal entered in camera, Frame Rate gets slower than Trigger input cycle.
SERIES 5.5 Defective Correction Circuits There could be incidence of light-malfunctioning defective pixel in the CMOS. In this case, additional correction is required to enhance the degraded quality of output images. For each camera, defective pixel information of CMOS is encoded during the shipping process.
All configuration of the 25M series camera is done via Camera Link. All types of camera setting commands, requiring data transmission are delivered in Hex command type. The camera can be set up from a PC running terminal emulator software, or using iSVi camera control software.(CamIsv) 7.1 Communication Setting: •...
