  • Page 18: Basic Functions

    CV-M9 GE To ensure the integrity of packets transmitted from the camera is recommended to follow these simple guidelines: 1. Whenever possible use a peer-to-peer network. 2. When connecting several cameras going though a network switch, make sure it is capable of handling jumbo packets and that it has sufficient memory capacity.

    CV-M9 GE Manual white balance By adjusting the Red (Register 0xA0C8); Blue (Register 0xA0CC) and Master Gain (Register 0xA0C4) gains settings, it is possible to achieve a proper white balance output from the camera for a wide range of color temperatures. The recommended method is to point the camera at a white target, and adjust gain settings until image on the screen matches the target.

  • Page 30: Lval A-Synchronous Accumulation

    CV-M9 GE 8.5.2. LVAL a-synchronous accumulation In LVAL a-synchronous mode, the accumulation will start immediately after the trigger leading edge. The exposure start delay is 9.7 μsec. (In V-binning mode, this delay will be 39.7 μsec) In EPS mode the exposure stops 0.5 L after the selected shutter time, (in number of LVAL).

  • Page 31: Continuous Operation

    CV-M9 GE 8.5.3. Continuous operation For applications not requiring asynchronous external trigger, but where a continuous stream of images is required, this mode should be used. In this mode it possible to use an auto-iris lens (video drive). The CV-M9GE provides an auto-iris lens video signal at pin 4 of the 12-pin Hirose connector.

  • Page 32: Image Quality

    CV-M9 GE In EPS trigger mode, R, G and B exposure can be set individually. Provided the gain in each channel is set to the same value, this function allows white balance to be achieved with the same noise level (S/N ratio) for all channels. Please note that extreme differences in exposure time, e.g.

  • Page 33: Pulse Width Control Trigger Mode

    CV-M9 GE 8.5.5. 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 second. The accumulation can be LVAL synchronous or LVAL a-synchronous.

  • Page 34: Sequential Trigger Mode (Eps)

    CV-M9 GE 8.5.6. Sequential Trigger Mode (EPS) Shutter, Gain and ROI values can be preset for up to 10 sequences. Along with every trigger input, the image data with the preset sequence is output as described below. Trigger Sequence Sequence 1...

  • Page 35: Delayed Readout Mode (Eps, Pwc)

    CV-M9 GE Important Note for using this mode 1. When this mode is used, it is necessary to set "Video Sending Flag" to OFF at first and then set the trigger mode to "Continuous" (Register 0xA040 to 0). The shutter mode must then be set at Individual Shutter (0xA000 set to 2) regardless of the trigger modes.

  • Page 36: Smear-Less Mode

    CV-M9 GE 8.5.8. Smear-less Mode This function will reduce the unwanted smear signal from a highlighted scene when a short exposure time is used. It works in EPS and PWC trigger modes, but a dummy readout is performed before the active accumulation is started. It will remove the smear above the highlighted parts in the image, but there is still smear left below highlighted areas.
