Page 12 K11823;12/34 (5-2) Setting of shutter speed The shutter speed is determined mainly by the shutter switch position from “0” to “9”. When a shutter speed is specified using a communication command, the communication command is prioritized. The shutter speed to be displayed is the one that is corresponding to the currently selected shutter switch position. When “7”...
Page 13 K11823;13/34 ● Correlation between MGC gain setting value and MGC gain The MGC setting value of this equipment is controlled by giving 24 to 224. The correlation between this setting value and the MGC gain (integrated gain including the gain of the variable gain amplifier and that of the fixed gain amplifier) is shown in the right graph.

Page 16 K11823;16/34 (6-3) Setting of program page The setting operations for the program pages are roughly divided into 2 groups: save (writing the current setting into the program page) and load (reading out the setting that was previously saved in the program page as the current setting). More specifically, “save”...
Page 17 K11823;17/34 (6-4) Description of menu display by OSD (On Screen Display) This camera is equipped with the OSD function of superimposing a character information on the output digital image signal. Using this function, the current setting status of the camera can be displayed over the image of the capture board in menu-driven form.
Page 18 K11823;18/34 S.FORM: The current shutter operation mode is displayed. The left is either MENU2 continuous (NORMAL) or asynchronous (ASYNC), and the right is MENU : ON either high speed (HIGH) or low speed (LOW). : (Reserved) : (Reserved) SCAN: The current scanning system is displayed. It is either all pixel : DISABLED readout scan (NORMAL) or partial readout scan (PARTIAL).
Page 19 K11823;19/34 When a stroke is applied to the UP/DOWN switch, the value of gain or others increases or decreases by 1. When a stroke is applied and kept for about 2 seconds, the number continuously increases or decreases at fast speed after the response sound of “pip-pip”.

Page 23: Serial Communication Control
K11823;23/34 7. Serial Communication Control FC1600FPL can be externally controlled by serial communication via Camera Link. (Note) When the operation modes of the camera are changed by the communication functions, it takes some time to switch the modes. Carefully note that normal image may not be obtained from the signal for each one frame before and after transmitting a command.

Normal scan: H’0000 to H’01EC (D’0 to 492) (“0” is used only when the external specification is cancelled.) Partial scan: H’0000 to H’00A9 (D’0 to 169) (“0”...

Page 33: Notes
K11823;33/34 9. Notes ● More stable image (suitable for highly accurate measurement) can be obtained by leaving the equipment for 20 or 30 minutes after the power is turned on. ● A longer exposure time in the pulse width control mode is accompanied by the degradation of S/N ratio due to a decrease in the dynamic range of CCD, accumulation of thermal noise components of the CCD imaging device in proportion to the exposure time.
