Basic functions The M2/M8 cameras are a progressive scan camera with 10 or 8 bit video output in single or dual channel Camera Link. -
Page 9: Reset Continuous Trigger Mode
CV-M2CL and CV-M8CL 6.1.3. Reset continuous trigger mode The RCT mode makes it possible to use a lens with video controlled iris for intelligent traffic surveillance applications. TR=2. The camera is running continuously, and the iris is controlled from the iris video output. When a trigger pulse is applied, the scanning is reset and restarted, the previous signal is dumped with a fast dump read out, and the new triggered exposure is started. -

Page 14: Lval Synchronous Accumulation
CV-M2CL and CV-M8CL 6.2.7. LVAL synchronous accumulation With LS=0, the accumulation will start synchronously with LVAL. The trigger pulse should be longer than 2 LVAL intervals, and the accumulation will then start at the first LVAL after the trigger leading edge. The exposure start delay will be up to 1 line. (Single channel 47.9 µsec. -

CV-M2CL and CV-M8CL 6.2.8. LVAL a-synchronous accumulation With LS=1, the accumulation will start after the trigger leading edge. The exposure start delay will be 151 clk. pulses after the trigger. It is 3.76 µsec. In EPS mode the exposure stops 0.5 L after the selected shutter time, (in number of LVAL). -
Page 16: Partial Scanning Vertical Timing
CV-M2CL and CV-M8CL 6.2.9. Partial scanning vertical timing Partial scanning has 3 pre-selected vertical centred areas 1/2, 1/4 and 1/8. SC=1 through SC=3. With SC=4, the start and the height of the partial scanned area can be programmed with 1 line interval. -
Page 17: Vertical Binning
Note! Vertical binning is not supported from revision D! Vertical binning is a function on CV-M2CL only. It will add the pixel value from 2 adjacent lines, and read it out as a single line. The sensitivity is then doubled, but the vertical resolution is reduced to ½. -
Page 18: Input/Output Of Timing Signals
See the full connector pin assignment for Camera Link in chapter 5.3 and 5.4.5 For complete documentation on the Camera Link standard, please contact your JAI distributor. EEN is also found as a TTL signal on pin #9 on the 12 pin Hirose. EEN is low during exposure. -
Page 19: Continuous Operation (Non Triggered)
CV-M2CL and CV-M8CL 6.4.1. Continuous Operation (Non triggered) Mode settings can be done with RS-232C. Trigger Mode Normal. TR=0. It is for applications where the camera is continuously running without external trigger. The shutter mode can be normal or programmable exposure. (SM=0, SM=1). The shutter will work in all 10 steps up to 1/14,000 second or with the programmable exposure in 1216 steps. -
Page 20: Edge Pre-Select Mode
CV-M2CL and CV-M8CL 6.4.2. Edge Pre-select Mode In EPS mode, the trigger leading edge will start an exposure at the first LVAL pulse if LS=0, (or immediately if LS=1), and it stops and the resulting image is read out after the pre-selected shutter time. -
Page 21: Reset Continuous Trigger Mode
CV-M2CL and CV-M8CL 6.4.3. Reset Continuous Trigger mode The RCT mode is in principle the same as normal continuous mode. The difference is that an external trigger pulse will immediately stop the video read out and reset and restart the vertical timing. -
Page 22: Pulse Width Control Mode
CV-M2CL and CV-M8CL 6.4.4. Pulse Width Control Mode In PWC mode, the trigger leading edge will start an exposure at the first LVAL pulse if LS=0 (or immediately if LS=1). It stops at the trailing edge of the trigger pulse, and the resulting video is read out. -
Page 23: Burst Trigger Mode
CV-M2CL and CV-M8CL 6.4.5. Burst Trigger mode With the burst trigger function, a single trigger pulse can start a sequence with five previous set pre-selected programmable exposures. The five shutter times can be set with BSH1 through BSH5. (Exposure 1H through 1216H.) The exposure is LVAL synchronous. Preset shutter (SM=0) can not be used. -
Page 24: Piv Mode
CV-M2CL and CV-M8CL 6.4.6. PIV mode PIV mode (Particle Image Velocimetry) can be used in applications where 2 images should be taken with a very short time interval. It can only be used with strobe flash as the only illumination. The first accumulation time is fixed at 4.68 µsec. After a delay >1.5 µsec. the second exposure period starts. -
