Page 4: Phenomena Specific To Image Sensors
Phenomena Specific to Image Sensors Note The following phenomena that may occur in images are specific to image sensors. They do not indicate a malfunction. White flecks Although the image sensors are produced with high- precision technologies, fine white flecks may be generated on the screen in rare cases, caused by cosmic rays, etc. -

If you use a camera module interface board with support for PoCL, be sure to use a camera link cable with support for PoCL. Spotted noise may appear in a specific brightness in the window according to the attribute of the cable. If this noise is an obstacle, use a shorter cable.

Page 10: When Mounting The Camera
When mounting the camera When the value read from the temperature sensor is above 75 °C (167 °F), heat dissipation is required. For more information about reading from the temperature sensor, see “Temperature Readout Function” (page 32). To promote heat dissipation from the unit and maintain the performance, mount the camera to a metallic base to fix. -

Page 15: Trigger Signal Input
Trigger Signal Input Trigger signals can be input via the 7th, 10th, 11th pins of the DC power input connector, the CC1, CC2, CC3, CC4 pins of the DIGITAL Interface connector, or the software command. Switchover of the trigger signal can be changed via the TRG-SRC command. -

Page 17: Functions
Functions Partial Scan Only the area selected from the effective pixel area can be read out. Clearing unnecessary parts at high-speed allows high-speed reading. The area size is selected by the HEIGHT and WIDTH commands, and the read beginning point is selected by the OFFSETX and OFFSETY commands. -
Page 18: Binning
Binning Gain By adding 2 vertical pixels or 2 horizontal pixels, the frame rate is increased the sensitivity. The color camera Manual gain cannot set this. This can be set with or without a trigger. Manual gain can be set finely in 0.1dB increments. Partial scan can be used concurrently and horizontal and Although the settable lower/upper limit values of the vertical can be set at the same time. -

Shutter (Exposure) Configuring the setting The setting is configured in µs unit. If you do not prioritize the image quality, you can set it up to 60 sec during operation. If the exposure time is long, it will be easier to see the pixel defects. Command Parameter 1 to 60000000... -
Page 20: Trigger Control
Trigger Control Free run/trigger mode Free run The camera operates without a trigger signal and performs the video output operation continuously after the shutter (exposure) is finished. The horizontal and vertical timing signals are generated within the camera. During the free-run operation, image pickup timing cannot be controlled. -
Page 21: Special Trigger
Special trigger When operating in trigger mode and performing image pickup in different conditions (such as the shutter, gain, and image pickup area), the setting has to be changed in advance for each trigger input. However, if the special trigger operation is enabled, the setting does not have to be changed and continuous image pick up in different conditions is facilitated. -

Page 24: Trigger Inhibition
Trigger inhibition Trigger input can be disabled. This function is effective when disabling the trigger signal to a specific camera in the environment where multiple cameras are connected by the same trigger signal and when preventing false operations caused by noise contamination to the trigger signal line (due to the installed environment). Trigger signal Trigger inhibition Trigger... -
Page 25: Trigger Range Limit
Trigger range limit Only signals in the set trigger width can be accepted as the trigger signal. This functions as a noise filter, which removes chattering or disturbance noise in the trigger signal line. This also functions as a trigger selector, whereby only a specific camera can be operated by the trigger when multiple cameras share one trigger signal line. -
