    (Note) The items marked with <* C> in the table are automatically stored in EEPROM whenever they are changed. (!) Clock phase changing function is omitted as digital output of FC1500FCL is dependent on Camera Link device. - 10 -...
  • Page 11 K11414;11/20 (6-3) Setting of program page The setting operations for the program pages are roughly divided into 2 groups: save (writing the current setting into the program page) and load (reading out the setting that was previously saved in the program page as the current setting). More specifically, “save”...
  • Page 12 K11414;12/20 (6-4) Typical setting procedure (Example 1) This is the procedure for setting the gain for the START asynchronous shutter operation (1/250 sec.). Turn on power. [Explanation] Be ready for switching between The left example of the setting procedure is for using the Set mode switch to “5”.

  • Page 16: Timing Chart

    10 bit x 2 tap output is employed for FC1500FCL. Therefore, there is no compatibility with the conventional parallel type camera FC1500F . and so dedicated setting files are required.
