General; Standard Composition; Main Features - JAI CV-A2 Operation Manual

1. General

The CV-A2 is a monochrome progressive scan 1/1.8" CCD camera with 2 Megapixel resolution.
The CV-A2 camera is in the popular CV-A1 family. It is designed for automated inspection,
featuring a small housing and a wide range of unique functions. The asynchronous trigger can be
set to work in several modes, to allow such functions as pulse width controlled shutter,
programmable shutter speed and long time integration. To obtain higher frame rates, the
camera has partial scanning and vertical binning.
All modes and functions can be set via an RS-232C interface, greatly reducing the need for
mechanical switches or jumpers.
CV-A2 Camera Control Tool for Windows 98/NT/2000/XP contents a camera control program and
tools for making your own program.
