K11208a;6/36 4. How to Operate (4-1) Connection method ● Connection Refer to the connection example between the camera and peripheral devices (Fig. 4-1). (1) Remove the cover of the lens attachment section and attach a lens (option). FC Camera Camera Link cable (2) Connect the camera head to a power supply unit (option) with a camera cable (option).
Page 7 K11208a;7/36 (4-2) Input of Vinit signal (asynchronous trigger signal) ● How to input Vinit signal If the camera is used in the asynchronous shutter mode, the Vinit signal (asynchronous trigger signal) must be input from the user side unit. The Vinit signal is input from Pin (6) of the “POWER” connector (12 pin connector) on the rear of the camera, or is input as the CC1 signal from the “Camera Link”...

Page 10 K11208a;10/36 (Note) A numerical value of 1 is incrementally added for every horizontal pixel in the range of 0 to 1023 for the case of 10bits output and 0 to 255 for the case of 8 bits output. (Note) The value does not start with 0 at the edge of the effective image area. (Note) The output values of the test pattern are not affected by the values of the gain setting or offset setting of the camera.
Page 11 K11208a;11/36 [Explanation] Example of conversion algorithm from data in the complement number system to signed data The following example shows how to convert 10 digit data in the complement number system into ordinary signed data: (1) Whether the value is positive or negative is determined by checking the uppermost bit (MSB) out of the 10 digit number.

Page 13 → Refer to the next section (Section 6) for the specific setting method. (!) Since FC1600FCL is equipped with the independent shutter setting switch and mode setting switch, it does not require the setting manipulation for the current shutter speed unlike the FC20 series products.
Page 14 K11208a;14/36 The MGC setting value of this equipment is controlled by giving 24 to 224. The correlation between this setting value and the MGC gain (integrated gain including the gain of the variable gain amplifier and that of the fixed gain amplifier) is shown in the right graph.
Page 15: How To Change Settings
K11208a;15/36 (6-1) How to set shutter speed The shutter speed is determined mainly by the setting positions of the shutter switch from “0” to “9”. Table 6-1 Setting value of shutter speed Position of High speed shutter (continuous/asynchronous) Low speed shutter (continuous) shutter switch No shutter (continuous) (1/30 sec)
Page 16 K11208a;16/36 (Note) When any setting item is changed, it must be saved in one of the program pages from “A” to “F” before turning off the power to store the data in the memory of the camera. Carefully note that the new setting is not automatically saved and that the prior setting will be effective at the next time of power-on if the power is turned off before storing it.

8 or 10 bit x 2 tap output is employed for FC1600FCL. Therefore, there is no compatibility with the conventional parallel type camera FC2000CL etc. and so dedicated setting files are required.

Page 35: Note
K11208a;35/36 9. Notes ● More stable image (suitable for highly accurate measurement) can be obtained by leaving the equipment for 20 or 30 minutes after the power is turned on. ● A longer exposure time in the pulse width control mode is accompanied by the degradation of S/N ratio due to a decrease in the dynamic range of CCD, accumulation of thermal noise components of the CCD imager device in proportion to the exposure time.
