CV-M40 4. Locations and Functions Lens mount of C-mount type. *1) Interline-transfer CCD sensor. Video output BNC connector SW1 switch on the rear panel to set the shutter speed and other function modes. 6 pin connector for RS 232C signals, input of external trigger pulse and WEN output.
CV-M40 5. Pin Assignment 5.1. 12-pin Multi-connector (DC-IN/Trigger) Type: HR10A-10R-12PB-01(Hirose) male. (Seen from rear of camera.) Pin no. Signal Remarks +12 V DC input Parallel with the BNC video output. Avoid Video output double termination. Trigger in for H reset trigger HD in/out/Trig in HD in for H non-reset trigger.

6. Functions and Operations 6.1. Basic functions Apart from the standard continuous operation, the CV-M40 features two external asynchronous trigger modes Edge Pre-select and Pulse Width Control mode. Edge Pre-select mode can operate with delayed read out, where the trigger falling edge starts a pre-selected exposure, and the raising edge starts the read out.
CV-M40 6.2. Input/Output of Timing Signals Some signals can be input or output on different connector pins depending of camera mode and jumper setting. Please refer to the principle diagram fig. 29. It shows input and output pins and the jumper positions as it is for factory setting. The diagram can be useful for understanding the following modes and jumper functions.
CV-M40 6.3. Operation Modes This camera can operate in 4 primary modes. 1 non-triggered, 3 external asynchronous trigger modes. The triggered shutter can be HD synchronous or with H reset. To avoid <1H time jitter in H non-reset mode, it is recommended to synchronize the trigger to HD as shown I fig.
CV-M40 6.3.1. Continuous operation This mode is used for applications not requiring asynchronous external trigger, but should run in continuous operation. The shutter time can be selected in 8 steps 8 steps, 1/125 to 1/12,000 sec. Via RS232C in 9 steps 1/60 (Off) to 1/120000.

CV-M40 6.3.2. Edge Pre-select Trigger Mode This trigger mode can operate in H reset mode or H non-reset mode. In H reset mode the falling edge of the trigger will immediately reset the internal HD and start the exposure. In H non-reset mode, where an external HD should be input, the exposure will start at the first HD after the trigger.

CV-M40 6.3.3. Pulse Width Control Trigger Mode This trigger mode can operate in H reset mode or H non-reset mode. In H reset mode the trigger falling edge will immediately reset the internal H and start the exposure. The exposure will end at the rising edge of the trigger, and the resulting video will be read out.

CV-M40 6.3.4. Frame delay read out Mode. The trigger falling edge will start the selected exposure as for edge pre-select. The trigger raising edge will start the resulting frame to be read out. This mode allows simultaneous capture of multiple cameras using a common external trigger pulse and sequential multiplexed read out to a single input frame grabber.

CV-M40 6.4. Other Functions. Shutter speed. The shutter speed can be set by the rear switch SW1-1 through 1-3 in 8 fixed steps from 1/125 to 1/12,000 second. Via RS-232C it can be set to 9 fixed steps from 1/60 (Off) to 1/12,000 sec. Further it can be programmed with 1H step from 2H to 524H (Off).
