Page 26: Operation Modes
CM-141MCL/PMCL/-RA / CB-141MCL/PMCL/-RA Vertical timing Fig.25 Vertical Timing for Vertical Binning 6.3. Operation Modes This camera can operate in 5 primary modes. 1. Continuous Mode 2. Edge Pre-select Mode (EPS) 3. Pulse Width Control Mode (PWC) 4. Reset Continuous Trigger Mode(RCT) Pre-select exposure 5.Smearless EPS Mode 6.3.1 Continuous operation For applications not requiring asynchronous external triggering, this mode should be used. -
Page 27: Edge Pre-Select (Eps) Trigger Mode
CM-141MCL/PMCL/RA / CB-141MCL/PMCL/-RA 6.3.2 Edge Pre-select (EPS) Trigger Mode An external trigger pulse initiates the capture, and the exposure time (accumulation time) is the fixed shutter speed set by registers. The accumulation can be LVAL synchronous or LVAL asynchronous. The resulting video signal will start to be read out after the selected shutter time. -

CM-141MCL/PMCL/-RA / CB-141MCL/PMCL/-RA LVAL async timing Fig.27 Edge Pre-select LVAL a-sync Timing 6.3.3 Pulse Width Control (PWC) Trigger Mode In this mode the accumulation time is equal to the trigger pulse width. Here it is possible to have a long time exposure. The maximum recommended time is <2 seconds. The accumulation can be LVAL synchronous or LVAL asynchronous. - Page 29 CM-141MCL/PMCL/RA / CB-141MCL/PMCL/-RA LVAL sync timing Fig.28 Pulse width control LVAL sync.

Page 30: Reset Continuous (Rct) Trigger Mode
CM-141MCL/PMCL/-RA / CB-141MCL/PMCL/-RA 6.3.4 Reset Continuous (RCT) trigger mode The RCT mode operates like EPS(edge preselect)mode with smear less function. An external trigger pulse will immediately stop the video read out, reset and restart the exposure, then operate as normal mode until the next trigger. After the trigger pulse is input, a fast dump read out is performed. -
Page 31: Smearless Eps Trigger Mode
CM-141MCL/PMCL/RA / CB-141MCL/PMCL/-RA 6.3.5 Smear less EPS Trigger mode This mode is EPS trigger mode with smear less function. Once the external trigger is input, a fast dump is activated. Then exposure starts with the preset shutter speed. This mode can eliminate smear on the upper part of the image. This mode functions only in LVAL asynchronous mode. -

Note 2: Smearless EPS modes suppress the smear on the upper part of the image. Note 3: The auto iris output is only effective in normal scan and vertical binning modes. -
Page 33: Configuring The Camera
All configuration of the CM-141MCL and CB-141MCL cameras is done via the RS-232C port on the 12 pin HR connector or via Camera Link.
