  • Page 10: Functions And Operations

    6. Functions and Operations 6.1. Basic functions The CM-030PMCL-RH camera is 17mm diameter small remote head camera using 330K pixels, monochrome progressive CCD. The length between a camera head and the CCU is 2m and the cable is attached on the camera head. The frame rate is as high as 120.491 fps. The interface to the host PC is via digital Mini Camera Link (Mini-CL) with POCL capability.

  • Page 11: Electronic Shutter

    CM-030PMCL-RH 6.1.2. Electronic Shutter CM-0303PMCL-RH allows selecting shutter speed in two ways; preset shutter (10 fixed steps) and programmable exposure (in 511 line period, LVAL, increments). Preset Shutter The following shutter speeds can be selected by command SH=0 through SH=9.

  • Page 12: Continuous Operation Or Triggered Operation

    Fig.4. Rear panel 6.1.5. Auto-detect LVAL-sync / async. accumulation This function replaces the manual setting found in older JAI cameras. Whether accumulation is synchronous or a-synchronous in relationship to LVAL depends on the timing of the trigger input. When trigger is received while FVAL is high (during readout), the camera works in LVAL synchronous mode, preventing reset feed trough in the video signal.

  • Page 13: Vertical Binning

    CM-030PMCL-RH 6.1.6. Vertical Binning Binning mode (Command VB) is a function where the signal charge from 2 adjacent (vertical) pixels are added together and read out as one pixel. Binning results in half vertical resolution and higher frame rate. By adding 2 pixels together, the sensitivity is doubled. The charge accumulated in 2 adjacent lines is added together in the horizontal CCD register.

  • Page 19: Pre-Select Trigger Mode

    CM-030PMCL-RH 6.3.2. Pre-select Trigger Mode An external trigger pulse initiates the capture, and the exposure time (accumulation time) is defined by the SH or PE commands. The resulting video signal will start to be read out after the selected shutter time.
