K11414;3/20 1. Features Progressive scan camera incorporated with 1.45 megapixel, 2/3”-size CCD image sensor. ● 10bit (2 tap) Video signal is output in progressive scanning (non-interlaced scanning) format, complying with Camera ● Link (Base configuration). A full frame shutter image can be obtained at a rate of 30 frames per second. ●...

Page 9 K11414;9/20 (5-3) Level setting Signal level The level setting is mostly divided into the 1023 following two groups: (Before setting adjustment) Image signal ● Gain setting This is to set the gain (amplification ratio) of the preamplifier between the CCD imaging device inside the camera to A/D converter.
Page 10: How To Change Settings
(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”.

Return by camera: STX: ACK: “R”: “Takenaka SYS.FC1500FCL V1.00”: ETX * The underlined values show the control program version number of the camera and a file name. These values and the number of characters vary by program version. Use when confirming the communication mode of the camera and obtaining internal information of the camera.

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.
