TM/TMC/RM/RMC-2030CL Operating The Control Software 2.1.1 Exposure Control The TM-2030CL exposure control allows you to select Continuous or Trigger modes using the appropriate radio button. Notice that Continuous and Trigger mode offer slightly different menus. 2.1.1 (a) Continuous Mode Shutter Speed The Shutter Speed drop-down list box allows you to select the specific shutter speed for manual shutter and Async shutter. -

TM/TMC/RM/RMC-2030CL Figure 8. To use Programmable shutter speed, select Programmable. 2.1.1 (d) Expo (lines) The “Expo (lines”) selection of the Exposure Control frame determines how long the shutter remains open, since a certain amount of time is allotted to expose each line. A minimum of one line of pixels must be exposed. -
Page 17: Gain Control
TM/TMC/RM/RMC-2030CL The maximum trigger frequency in this mode is equal to 1/ (transfer time of two frames + exposure time of the first image). The minimum active period of the external trigger is 10 pixel clocks (250ns) 2.1.3 Gain Control 2.1.3 (a) Gain Gain controls the brightness of an image. -

Page 25: Hardware Introduction
For more information, please see Section 5.5 on page 28. Unless otherwise stated, all information in this manual applies to the TM-2030CL series; the TM-2030CL, TMC-2030CL and their RoHS compliant RM-2030CL and RMC-2030CL. The TM-2030CL output is available with either 8-bit, 10-bit or 12-bit processing. - Page 26 TM/TMC/RM/RMC-2030CL • Asynchronous reset The TM-2030CL captures async reset images and provides single-shot video output with single FDV (frame data valid). This makes it simpler for an ordinary frame grabber to capture the asynchronous reset images. The TM- 2030CL’s asynchronous reset is flexible and accepts external horizontal drive (HD) for phase locking. When the VINIT (5V) pulse is applied to CC1, it resets the camera's scanning and purging of the CCD.

Page 32: Figure 37. Back Focus Set-Screw Locations
TM/TMC/RM/RMC-2030CL There should be an obvious need to refocus the lens before attempting to change the back focus. This is a very exacting task. Some cameras have been returned to the factory to reset the back focus after failed attempts to change the focus by customers. -
Page 33: Operation
TM/TMC/RM/RMC-2030CL Operation Progressive Scanning Standard TV-system scanning is 525 lines interlace scanning as specified in the RS-170 protocol. Every other horizontal line (odd lines and even lines) is scanned at a 60Hz rate per field, and the scanning is completed with two fields (one frame) at 30Hz rate. -
Page 34: Bayer Color Filter (Color Versions)
5.2.1 Color Filter Array JAI Inc. AccuPiXEL cameras use Bayer CFA (color filter array) as their standard primary color filter. This filter provides the most popular color interpolation supported by numerous software suppliers. The digital format allows the camera to output accurate pixel data, including the color information. When the data is stored in the frame buffer of a frame grabber or computer, the color information is easily manipulated to restore the original color images. -
Page 35: Starting Pixel Configuration
R/G start or G/R start, as well as G/B start and B/G start. Once the correct scanning is configured, the rest of the interpolation is exactly the same. Contact JAI Inc. for further information regarding CCD manufacturers. -
Page 36: Sync And Data
TM/TMC/RM/RMC-2030CL 5.2.4 Sync and Data The individual color data is exactly the same as the pixel data. This means that the timing relationships of the color cameras are also the same as of the monochrome cameras. For a detailed timing chart, please refer to each monochrome camera’s data sheet and manual. The following diagram is an example of the TMC-2030CL default mode. -
Page 37: Color Interpolation
3 x 3 interpolation, 2 x 2 interpolation, color matrix, white balance capability, and so on. All AccuPiXEL color cameras are carefully designed for maximum color performance. JAI Inc. strongly suggests that you use digital output for the best performance. -

TM/TMC/RM/RMC-2030CL noise, and the operating clock speed. In general, the level of the 20 MHz pixel clock CCD at room temperature is around 20 to 50 electrons. The maximum capacity of CCD charges is limited by the well capacity at saturation. -
Page 39: Asynchronous Programmable Exposure Mode
TM/TMC/RM/RMC-2030CL Because the external trigger is randomly applied, the new image charge may overlap with the previous image. To prevent an existing charge accumulation from interfering with a new image, most users set up the application in a dark area and depend on a strobe light for illumination. From the time the external trigger activates until the transfer gate turns off, about 9.5 video lines are available for integration;... -
Page 40: Pulse Width Control Mode
TM/TMC/RM/RMC-2030CL • If the exposure time is less than one frame time, the maximum trigger frequency is equal to 1/1 frame time. • If the exposure time is longer than one frame time, the maximum trigger frequency is equal to 1/exposure time. -
Page 41: Particle Imaging Velocimetry Fixed Exposure Mode
TM/TMC/RM/RMC-2030CL Figure 46. Pulse Width Control Trigger 5.5.5 Particle Imaging Velocimetry Fixed Exposure Mode In Particle Imaging Velocimetry (PIV) Fixed Exposure Mode, when an external trigger is applied, the first time exposure starts the same as PWC mode does. It lasts a very short period (8μs). The second time exposure starts during the transferring time of the first image accumulated in the first exposure time. -
Page 42: Pwc Piv Mode
TM/TMC/RM/RMC-2030CL 5.5.6 PWC PIV Mode The PWC PIV is based on PIV Fixed Exposure. In this mode, the first time exposure is controlled by the pulse width of the external trigger, which is similar to PWC mode. The real exposure time of the first image is equal to the pulse width of the external trigger. -
