    The high-speed shutter function, asynchronous random trigger mode and partial scan mode, with window of interest, allows the camera to capture high quality images of fast moving objects with a high frame rate. The CV-A33CL features the Camera Link standardized multiplexed signal output interface.

  • Page 8: Functions And Operations

    6.1. Basic functions The CV-A33CL camera is a progressive scan camera with 10 or 8 bit video output in single channel Camera Link. Programmable partial scan, where the start line and the number of lines can be selected with 1 line increment is also available.
  • Page 9: Column Process

    6.1.3. Column Process The voltage signal from a single pixel is send to the column amplifier trough the 4 to 1 multiplexer. After the S/H circuit, the offset and gain calibrating is perform. A 10 bit A/D converter send the digital pixel signal to the digital horizontal shift register by a 1 to 4 multiplexing.
  • Page 10: Window Of Interest

    6.1.6. Window of Interest If a higher frame rate is wanted, it is possible to change the CMOS sensors sensing area to the window of interest. WS =1 for windows scan. The X,Y start coordinate, the window width and height can be programmed.

  • Page 12: Lval A-Synchronous Accumulation

    6.2.4. LVAL a-synchronous accumulation The CV-A33CL has LVAL a-synchronous accumulations only. The accumulation will start 28 µsec. after the trigger leading edge. EEN will indicate the accumulation time. When the accumulation stops after the selected shutter time, the LVAL phase is reset and restarted.

    6.2.5. Timing for window of interest With WS=1, the X and Y start coordinates (WX and WY), and the width and height (WW and WH) for the window of interest can be programmed with 1 pixel interval. The minimum window size is 2(h) x 3 (v).

    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 15: Continuous Operation (Non Triggered)

    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 continuous running without external trigger. The shutter mode can be normal or programmable exposure. (SM=0, SM=1). The shutter will work in all 8 steps up to 1/20,000 second or with the programmable exposure in 2 to 493 steps.

    6.4.4. Auto trigger Mode The auto trigger function, TR=3 can be used as sensing device inside the camera field of view. It sense in a programmable window from top of the image. The continuous output is sent to the frame grabber, which PC should be programmed to sense if an object is passing the window. The horizontal position and the signal threshold could be the programmed parameters.
