Camera numbers for multiple-line random trigger mode
The table below shows the camera connector and camera number assignments when the operation mode is the
multi-line random trigger mode. This table is an example showing the camera number assignments when the
number of lines is two.
Camera numbers are assigned for each line in ascending order starting from 0. For two-cable connection,
camera numbers are assigned in ascending order regardless of camera connector number pairs.

IMPORTANT
• When connecting cameras with two-cable connection, use a pair of ascending consecutive even and odd numbered
Sensor Controller camera connector numbers for each camera. You will not be able to get the image acquisitions
correctly if you use camera connectors with non-consecutive connector numbers, or if an odd numbered connector has a
lower number than the even numbered connector it is paired with.
• CameraLink medium configuration is only supported by FH-1000/FH-3000/FH-L series Sensor Controller. FZ5-series
models, FZ4-series models and other non-FH-1000/FH-3000/FH-L series only support the CameraLink base
configuration.
• When [Operation mode setting] has been set to the multi-line random trigger mode, changing the camera connections or
[Multi-line Random-trigger mode] in the system settings may change camera number assignments in line with the
change made. After changing the camera connections or [Multi-line Random-trigger mode], before using the Sensor
Controller, check the camera numbers in the property setting screen for the [Camera Image Input] processing items or
[Camera Image Input FH] processing items.
• STGOUT signals (STGOUT0 to STGOUT7) signals are tied to the camera connector numbers, not the camera numbers.
When using CameraLink Medium Configuration or Multi-line Random-trigger mode, check the camera connector number
of a Sensor Controller that corresponds to the camera number.
• SHTOUT signal (SHTOUT0 to SHTOUT7) are tied to the Line number, not camera number. When use Multi-line random-
trigger mode, confirm the Line number and use SHTOUT signal.
Note
When connecting cameras with two-cable connection, the camera connection screen in the system settings displays the
camera model for one member of the pair of camera connector numbers, and displays [Disconnect] for the other.
One-cable Camera Connection
FH series/FZ5 series Sensor Controllers support the CameraLink standard's Base Configuration. In the base
configuration, one camera cable is used to connect one camera. Starting from camera connector 0 on the
Sensor Controller, connect cameras to the camera connectors you want to use in ascending order of camera
connector number.
