Digital CMOS Camera C16240-20UP / C16240-20UP01 Instruction manual_Ver.1.3
11-2-6 TRIGGER OUTPUT
The camera provides a range of trigger output signals to synchronize with an external instrument and
the camera becomes the master and the external instrument becomes the slave.
There are three different trigger output functions as follows.
- Any row exposure timing output
- Programmable timing output
- Trigger ready output
Also, it can output continuous High output (High output fixed) or continuous Low output (Low output
fixed). They are output from Timing out connector.
•
The Lightsheet Readout Mode does not have the period where all lines expose at the same time. The
Global exposure timing output is not output.
(1) Any row exposure timing output
Global exposure timing output shows the global exposure timing where all lines expose at the
same time. While the any row exposure timing shows when any of the rows.
(2) Programmable timing output
By using the programmable timing output, synchronizing with external devices is simple. A system
which needs simple timing signal does not require a delay unit or pulse generator. It is possible to
program and output a pulse that has an optional pulse width and an optional delay time to Read
End (the end of readout timing), Vsync, Input trigger signal or Hsync. The range of delay is 0 µs
to 10 s, and the range of pulse width is 1 µs to 10 s.
The relation between the parameter which can be set with each reference signal, and an output
signal becomes as shown below.

Output signal
The signal with the preset pulse width is output after the preset delay from the
end of the sensor readout.
The signal with the preset pulse width is output after the preset delay from the
start of the sensor readout
The signal with the preset pulse width is output after the preset delay from the
input signal.
The signal with the preset pulse width is output after the preset delay from the
horizontal synchronized signal in the camera.
