Command Specification

This section describes the details of control commands
available for the XCL-U100, classified by category.

Camera control commands

The camera control commands are classified in 8
categories.
Category
Explanation
AFE
Executes setting of AFE.
Shutter/Trigger
Executes settings connected to
Shutter/Trigger function.
Binarization
Executes setting of Binarization.
Digital
Executes setting connected to digital
processes.
Gamma
Executes setting of Gamma
correction curve.
Filter
Executes setting of Filter.
Binning/Partial
Executes settings of Binning/Partial.
IN/OUT
Executes settings connected to
input/output of the camera.
All concomitant parameter values of the camera control
commands are saved in the EEPROM inside the camera.

AFE Setting Command

x Gain-Step Setting
[Command] GAIN-STEP
[Parameter 1] <Gain (0 - 18)> [dB]
[Process] Sets Gain of AFE.
x Gain-Fine Setting
[Command] GAIN-FINE
[Parameter 1] <Gain (0 - 502)>
[Process] Divides the range from 0 to 18 dB of “Gain-
Step setting” into 502 parts, and fine adjusts Gain of
AFE and sets them.
x Pedestal Setting
[Command] PEDESTAL
[Parameter 1] <Pedestal level (0 - 1023)>
[Process] Sets AFE pedestal level.

Shutter / Trigger Setting Command

x Shutter Speed Setting
[Command] SHUTTER
[Parameter 1] <Shutter setting (0 - 16)>
0: OFF
5: 1/120 s 10: 1/5,000 s 15: 2 s
1: 1/15 s 6: 1/250 s 11: 1/10,000 s 16: Arbitrary setting
2: 1/30 s 7: 1/500 s 12: 1/7.5 s
Command Specification
3: 1/60 s 8: 1/1,000 s 13: 1/2 s
4: 1/100 s 9: 1/2,000 s 14: 1 s
([Parameter 2]) <Shutter speed adjusting value (0 -
60000000)>
([Parameter 3]) <Shutter speed fine adjusting (0 - 35)>
[Process] Sets the shutter speed.
If Parameter 1 is set to arbitrary setting, Parameter
2 and Parameter 3 are valid.
(When minimum) | Speed adjusting value (10) +
Speed fine adjusting (0) |
(When maximum) | Speed adjusting value
(60000000) + Speed fine adjusting (0) |
Note
The command varies depending on Parameter 1.
<When Parameter 1 is between 0 and 15 (OFF or
preset)>
SHUTTER [Parameter 1] (Parameters 2 and 3 are
unnecessary)
<When Parameter 1 is 16 (arbitrary setting)>
SHUTTER 16 [Parameter 2] [Parameter 3]
x Trigger Mode Setting
[Command] TRG-MODE
[Parameter 1] <Mode (0 - 2)>
0: OFF
t Normal output of moving picture
1: External trigger/Edge detection
t Controls the shutter speed beginning
exposure from the valid edge of the external
trigger.
2: External trigger/Pulse width detection
t Controls the shutter speed with the valid
pulse width of the external trigger.
[Process] Sets the trigger operation mode.
x External Trigger Pulse Polarity Setting
[Command] TRG-POL
[Parameter 1] <Mode (0 - 1)>
0: Negative
1: Positive
[Process] Specifies the polarity of the external trigger
pulse.
x External Trigger Overlap Setting
[Command] TRG-OVLP
[Parameter 1] <Mode (0 - 1)>
0: OFF
1: ON
[Process] Sets the external trigger overlap.
x External Trigger Delay Setting
[Command] TRG-DELAY
[Parameter 1] <Mode (0 - 1)>
0: OFF
1: ON
[Parameter 2] <Start time delay (0 - 255)>
[Parameter 3] <End time delay (0 - 255)>
[Process] The camera internally delays valid pulses
from external triggers.
