Guide” supplied with the JAI SDK. 8.1. GigE Vision Standard Interface The CM-030GE/CM-030GE-RA and CB-030GE/CB-030GE-RA are designed in accordance with the GigE Vision standard. It transmits digital images over Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cables. All camera functions are also controlled via the GigE Vision interface.
(NICs) and switches/routers are suitable for use with the GigE Vision compliant camera. JAI will endeavor to continuously verify these combinations, in order to give users the widest choice of GigE components for their system design.
Regarding data transfer rate, a larger packet size produces a slightly lower data transfer rate. The CM-030GE and CB-030GE sereis can support a maximum of 4040 byte packets provided the NIC being used has a Jumbo Frames function with a setting of a 4040 bytes or larger.

The traditional JAI method for shutter setting can also be used including JAI Shutter Mode, JAI Preset Shutter, JAI Exposure Time Raw and JAI Exposure Time (us). If setting is done using the SFNC method, these settings are automatically reflected in the traditional JAI settings area.
As for the setting example, refer to chapter 6.5.1. 9.3. Auto-detect LVAL-sync / a-sync. accumulation This function replaces the manual setting found in older JAI cameras. Whether accumulation is synchronous or a-synchronous in relationship to LVAL depends on the timing of the trigger input.
CM-030GE/CM-030GE-RA / CB-030GE/CB-030GE-RA 10. Operation Modes The CM-030GE and CB-030GE series comply with GenICam SFNC (Standard Features Naming Convention) version 1.3 and the acquisition of the image, the trigger functions, the exposure settings and so on are different from those used in early versions of these cameras.
Page 40
TriggerWidth: The exposure is the same as the trigger width. The CM-030GE and CB-030GE series have a JAI Acquisition and Trigger Control function which is the same as used for previous models and includes 7 types of exposure modes.
Page 41
CM-030GE/CM-030GE-RA / CB-030GE/CB-030GE-RA The exposure time can be set in the JAI Shutter Mode by selecting either lines or microseconds and the setting values are reflected in the same items of Acquisition and Trigger Control. Other parameters such as trigger signal should be set in Acquisition and Trigger Control.
CM-030GE/CM-030GE-RA / CB-030GE/CB-030GE-RA 10.2.2 Edge Pre-select Trigger Mode An external trigger pulse initiates the capture, and the exposure time (accumulation time) is the fixed shutter speed set by registers. The accumulation can be LVAL synchronous or LVAL a-synchronous. The resulting video signal will start to be read out after the selected shutter time.

CM-030GE/CM-030GE-RA / CB-030GE/CB-030GE-RA 10.2.3 Pulse Width Control trigger mode In this mode the accumulation time is equal the trigger pulse width. Here it is possible to have long time exposure. The maximum recommended time is <2 seconds. The accumulation can be LVAL synchronous or LVAL a-synchronous.

After the trigger pulse is input, a fast dump read out is performed. In the CM-030GE/ CB-030GE, this period is 1.3608ms which is 63L. The exposure time is determined by the pre-set shutter speed. If no further trigger pulses are applied, the camera will continue in normal mode and the video signal is not output.

CM-030GE/CM-030GE-RA / CB-030GE/CB-030GE-RA In the case of Sequential EPS, (Trigger source is Software) For each sequence, The following table shows the minimum trigger interval in synchronous accumulation mode. In case of a-synchronous accumulation mode, the exposure time should be added to figures in this table.
CM-030GE/CM-030GE-RA / CB-030GE/CB-030GE-RA 10.2.6 Delayed Readout Mode (Pre-Select, Pulse width control) This mode can be used to delay the transmission of a captured image. When several cameras are triggered simultaneously and connected to the same GigE interface, it allows the cameras to be read out in sequence, preventing congestion.
CM-030GE/CM-030GE-RA / CB-030GE/CB-030GE-RA When the image stored is transferred, the trigger source should be set at Transfer Start When the trigger pulse is input, the image is output. 10.2.7 Optical Black transfer mode It is possible for the user to decide whether the optical black (OB) portion of the image will be transferred or not.
Auto applicable Readout Note 1: Vertical Binning is available for only CM-030GE/CM-030GE-RA. Note 2: Auto iris output is available only on Continuous mode and RCT with full resolution or with vertical binning. It cannot be used with partial scan mode.
