Page 7: General
Hereafter, CM-040MCL/CB-040MCL will represent a whole series except for specific descriptions. The CM-040MCL and CB-040MCL are JAI C3 Compact series digital cameras utilizing a Mini Camera Link interface. Both standard optical configurations (CM-040MCL/CB-040MCL) and right angle configurations (CM-040MCL-RA/CB-040MCL-RA) are available. The monochrome version CM-040MCL and the color version CB-040MCL provide a frame rate of 61 frames/second at a full resolution of roughly 450,000 pixels. -

CM-040MCL /-RA / CB-040MCL /-RA 6.1.2 CB-040MCL Bayer mosaic filter FVAL Timing CB-040MCL is a color camera based on a CCD Line # from FVAL raising edge sensor with a Bayer RGB color mosaic. Actual V Line # The color image reconstruction is done in the host PC. -
Page 15: Electronic Shutter
CM-040MCL /-RA / CB-040MCL /-RA 6.1.4 Electronic Shutter CM-040MCL / CB-040MCL has conventional shutter functions such as preset shutter and programmable shutter. Preset Shutter 9 steps of preset shutter are available: OFF (1/61); 1/100,1/120,1/250,1/500,1/1,000,1/2,000, 1/4,000,1/8,000,1/10,000 sec. Programmable Shutter It is possible to set the shutter speed in the range of 2L to 596L by 1L unit, in the case of full frame operation. -
Page 16: Auto-Detect Lval-Sync / Async Accumulation
CM-040MCL /-RA / CB-040MCL /-RA 6.1.6 Auto-detect LVAL-sync / async accumulation This function replaces the manual setting found in older JAI cameras. Whether accumulation is synchronous or asynchronous in relationship to LVAL depends on the timing of the trigger input. -

CM-040MCL /-RA / CB-040MCL /-RA Horizontal Timing The horizontal timing is the same as that of the full scanning. Fig.19 Horizontal Timing for Partial Scanning 6.2.5 Vertical binning Vertical binning combines charges from two adjacent lines, reducing the vertical resolution to half and at the same time increasing frame rate and sensitivity. -

CM-040MCL /-RA / CB-040MCL /-RA 6.3.4 Reset Continuous (RCT) trigger mode The RCT mode operates like EPS (edge preselect) mode with smearless function. An external trigger pulse will immediately stop the video read out, reset and restart the exposure, then operate as normal mode until the next trigger. After the trigger pulse is input, a fast dump read out is performed. -
