Page 13: Functions And Operations
6. Functions and Operations 6.1. Basic functions The CMCB-140 MCL / CMCB-140 PMCL /CM-140MCL-UV/PMCL-UV cameras are progressive scan camera with 1.4 Mega pixels monochrome and Bayer mosaic color CCDs. The interface to the host PC is via digital Mini Camera Link (Mini-CL). Both models output video as 8 or 10 bits. The CB-140 MCL /PMCL outputs raw Bayer video, requiring host based color interpolation. -
Page 14: Electronic Shutter
CMCB-140MCL/CM-140MCL-UV/CMCB-140PMCL 6.1.2. Electronic Shutter The CM/CB-140 MCL ,CM/CB-140PMCL and CM-140MCL-UV/PMCL-UV allow selecting shutter speed in two ways; preset shutter (10 fixed steps) and programmable exposure (in 1051 line period, LVAL, increments). Preset Shutter The following shutter speeds can be selected by command SH=0 through SH=9. OFF (1/31), 1/60, 1/100, 1/250, 1/500, 1/1000, 1/2000, 1/4000, 1/8000, 1/10000 seconds Note: UV version is OFF (1/16), 1/30,1/60, 1/100, 1/250, 1/500, 1/1000, 1/2000, 1/4000, 1/10000 seconds Programmable Exposure (PE) -
Page 15: Auto-Detect Lval-Sync / Async. Accumulation
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 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 16: Vertical Binning
CMCB-140MCL/CM-140MCL-UV/CMCB-140PMCL 6.1.8. Vertical Binning This function is only available on the CM-140MCL/-UV/PMCL/-UV camera. 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. -

Page 19: Partial Scan
CMCB-140 MCL/CM-140MCL-UV/CMCB-140 PMCL 6.2.4. Partial Scan Partial scan allows higher frame rate by reading out a smaller center portion of the image. This is particularly useful when inspecting objects that do not fill the whole height of the image. Fast-dump period... -

Page 22: Pre-Select Trigger Mode
CMCB-140MCL/CM-140MCL-UV/CMCB-140PMCL 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.

Page 24: Pulse Width Trigger Mode
CMCB-140MCL/CM-140MCL-UV/CMCB-140PMCL 6.3.3. Pulse Width Trigger Mode In this mode the accumulation time is equal the trigger pulse width. Here it is possible to have long time exposure. The maximum recommended time is <60 frames. For timing details, refer to fig. 16 through fig. 21 and fig. 24 & 25. To use this mode: Set function: Trigger mode to “Pulse width control”. - Page 25 CMCB-140 MCL/CM-140MCL-UV/CMCB-140 PMCL LVAL_async timing MCL/PMCL : 7.83μs ±1μs : 15.66μs±1μs Trig 1L(Min.)

Page 26: Reset Continuous (Rct) Trigger Mode
CMCB-140MCL/CM-140MCL-UV/CMCB-140PMCL 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. -
