  • Page 16: Operation Modes

    CV-A10 CL and CV-A70 CL 6.4. Operation Modes This camera can operate in 5 primary modes. 1. TR=0 Normal continuous Mode. Pre-selected exposure. 2. TR=1 Edge Pre-select Mode. Pre-selected exposure. 3. TR=2 Pulse Width Control Mode. Pulse width controlled exposure.

  • Page 17: Lval Synchronous Accumulation

    CV-A10 CL and CV-A70 CL 6.4.1. LVAL synchronous accumulation With LS=0, the accumulation will start synchronously with LVAL. The trigger pulse should be longer than 2 LVAL, and the accumulation will then start at the first LVAL after the trigger leading edge.

  • Page 18: Lval A-Synchronous Accumulation

    CV-A10 CL and CV-A70 CL 6.4.2. LVAL a-synchronous accumulation With LS=1, the accumulation will start immediately after the trigger leading edge. The exposure start delay will be 4 µsec. for shutter speeds up to 1/75,000. In EPS mode the exposure stops 0.5 L after the selected shutter time, (in number of LVAL).

  • Page 19: Continuous Operation

    CV-A10 CL and CV-A70 CL 6.4.3. Continuous operation For applications not requiring asynchronous external trigger, but should run in continuous operation, this mode is used. For timing details, refer to fig. 13. through fig. 17. To use this mode: Set function: Trigger mode to “Continuous”.

  • Page 20: Edge Pre-Select Trigger Mode

    CV-A10 CL and CV-A70 CL 6.4.4. Edge Pre-select Trigger Mode An external trigger pulse initiates the capture, and the exposure time (accumulation time) is the fixed shutter speed set by SH or PE. The accumulation can be LVAL synchronous or LVAL a- synchronous.

  • Page 21: Pulse Width Control Trigger Mode

    CV-A10 CL and CV-A70 CL 6.4.5. 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 <120 frames. The accumulation can be LVAL synchronous or LVAL a-synchronous.

  • Page 22: Reset Continuous Trigger Mode

    CV-A10 CL and CV-A70 CL 6.4.6. 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 23: Sensor Gate Control

    CV-A10 CL and CV-A70 CL 6.4.7. Sensor Gate Control This mode is for applications with strobe flash illuminations or long time accumulations up to several frames. In this mode the camera is running continuously. The external Sensor Gate control signal will disable the internal XSG pulse so the accumulation will continue during the next frame.

  • Page 24: Other Functions

    There is no limitation in PWC mode. Binning will not work in partial scanning modes. Partial scan has highest priority. Note: The color sequence for CV-A70 CL differ in partial scan modes. Refer to chapter 6.1.4. Binning. VB=0 through VB=3 and HB=0 through HB=3.
