8 or 10 bit x 2 tap output with 30MHz clock is employed for FS5100SPL. Therefore, there is no compatibility with the FC5100CL and a dedicated configuration file is required.

N08A29;31/33 (Note) Strictly speaking, even if the same pulse width of Vinit is applied, the shutter speed differs for the period corresponding to 1H width when the asynchronous shutter operation is executed in the pulse width control mode (indefinite for 1H width). Although an equal pulse width (value between 2Hs and 3Hs) is applied both for (A) and (B) in the figure below, the phase relationship with the internal horizontal synchronous timing makes their shutter speeds different from each other: (A) shutter speed = 2Hs and (B) shutter speed = 3Hs.
Notes ● FS5100SPL is a High-resolution progressive scan color camera featuring 5 mega pixels / 9 fps, adopting single port CCD. ● 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.
