7.2. Setting functions

7.2.1.

Bit allocation. BA=0, BA=1

This command sets the output for either 8-bit or 10-bit.
7.2.2.

Partial scan. SC=0 through 4.

The CCD scanning format can be selected between full or partial scanning. With partial
scanning only the vertical central part of the CCD sensor is read out with a higher frame rate.
The partial scan is done by a fast dump read out of the lines in the vertical CCD register down
to the top of the partial image. This central part of the image is read out with normal speed.
The lines below the partial image are read out and dumped with a high speed.
7.2.3.

Vertical binning. VB=0, VB=1

The CM-030PMCL-RH has only vertical binning mode. With V binning the pixel charge from 2
adjacent lines are added together in the horizontal CCD register. It is done by double pulses
to the vertical CCD register.
Note: Vertical Binning cannot be used together with the Partial scanning.
7.2.4.

Shutter mode. SM=0 and SM=1

With SM=0 this function selects the shutter from the 10fixed steps (SH=0 through SH=9).
With SM=1 from programmable in 550 steps (PE=2 through PE=551).
7.2.5.

Trigger polarity. TP=0, TP=1.

The active trigger polarity is low as default (TP=0). It can be invert it to active high (TP=1).
7.2.6.

Gain level. GA=-84 through +336.

GA=0 is 0dB gain, which is normal working point. The range is from -3 dB to +12 dB.
7.2.7.

Black level. BL=0 through BL=1023.

Black level (or set-up level) will set the video level for black. Factory setting is 32 LSB for
10bit or 8 LSB for 8bit.

7.3. Save and Load Functions

The following commands are used to store and load camera settings in the camera EEPROM.
Load settings. LD
This command will load previous stored settings to the camera. 3 user settings can be stored
in the camera EEPROM. 1 factory setting is also stored in the camera. The settings stored in
the last used user area are used as default settings at power up.
