5.1 Camera Modes
Two of our cameras can be used with the A Series: The double−speed random camera,
model ANM831, and the standard camera, model ANM832.
The A Series supports a total of six camera modes. The camera mode is set according
to whether the inspection object is moving or still, whether the illumination is continuous
or strobe, and the camera type.
Double−Speed p This mode uses the
R Random Modes d M d double−speed random camera d
ANM831. This mode is used
when the light is continuous and
imaging objects are either
moving or still.
The camera mode is switched The camera mode is switched
between frame and field by
setting items on a menu and
changing the settings of the DIP
switches on the back of the
camera. See note 1).
Normal Modes These modes use a normal
camera, model ANM832.
This frame mode is used to
image moving objects using
strobe light.
Either mode will support the
imaging of still objects.
Internal Sync y This mode uses NTSC signal
input. i
The field mode is used for
moving images.
The frame mode is used for still The frame mode is used for still
images. images.
The A200 supports only camera
A in this mode.

Frame Mode
Imaging time = (shutter time) + (16.7ms). Images are
processed at the high resolution of 512 × 480 pixels.
This is the fastest mode for taking 512 × 480 pixel images.
(maximum of 3 times faster than previous models)
Field Mode
Fast imaging time = (shutter time) + (8.3ms). Images are
processed at 512 × 240 pixel resolution.
This is the fastest imaging mode. (maximum of 4 times
faster than previous models)
Frame Mode
This mode can image still objects using continuous light or
can image moving objects using strobe light.
Imaging time = (33.3 to 49.9ms). Images are processed at
high resolution of 512 × 480 pixels.
When using strobe light, set this normal mode frame mode
and switch the monitor display to Memory.
Field Mode
Imaging time = (16.7 to 33.3ms). Images are processed at
512 × 240 pixels.
Frame Mode
The mode captures still images using an NTSC signal.
Imaging time = (shutter time) + (33.3 to 49.9ms). Images
are processed at the high resolution of 512 × 480 pixels.
Field Mode
The mode captures moving images using an NTSC signal.
Imaging time = (shutter time) + (16.7 to 33.3ms). Images
are processed at a resolution of 512 × 240 pixels.
