Edge Pre-Select Trigger Mode - IAI CV-M40 Operating Manual

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. The shutter time can be selected in 8 steps, 1/125 to
1/12,000 sec. Via RS232C in 9 steps, 1/60 (Off) to 1/120,000. Programmable shutter from 2H to
524H (Off). Binning or partial scan can be used, but not together.
The resulting video signal will start to be read out after the selected shutter time.
To avoid up to 1H time jitter in H non-reset, it is recommended to synchronize the trigger to HD.
The falling edge of the trigger should be within 4.4 µsec. from the falling edge of the ext. HD.
(See fig. 8.).
The WEN pulse indicates the start of valid video signal. Refer to timing charts for details. A new
trigger pulse must not be applied before the video read out has been finished. (WEN negative
goes high). For partial scanning, refer to fig. 15.
For settings refer to chapter "7. Configuring the camera."
Refer to timing charts for details.
To use this mode:
Set: Rear switch SW1-5 ON, SW1-6 OFF for Edge. For RS-232C select Edge Pre-Select.
SW1-1 through SW1-3 on rear or RS-232C for shutter speed.
Other functions.
Input: For H reset:
For H non-reset:
Note: For H non-reset the external HD should be input continuously.
Refer to fig. 29. for correct jumper setting and pin connections.
