1. Handling Precautions
1.1. Camera Handling Precautions
□Do not use or store camera in dusty or humid places.
□Do not apply excessive force, vibration, or static electricity that could damage camera. Please handle camera
with care.
□Do not shoot direct images that are extremely bright (e.g.,strong light source, sun, etc.). When extremely
strong light source is shot, smear or blooming may occur. Put the lens cap on when camera is not in use.
□Follow the instructions in Chapter 3.3., “External Connector” for connecting camera.
Improper connection may cause damages not only to the camera but also to the connected devices.
□Confirm mutual ground potential carefully before connecting camera to monitors or computers.
Any AC leak from the connected devices may cause damages or destroy the camera.
□Do not apply excessive voltage. (Use only the specified voltage.) Unstable or improper power supply voltage
may cause damages or malfunction of the camera.
□VCC-5CXP7R is a highly dense camera in a small foot print. CIS recommends you to install the camera on a
metal plate to avoid heat.
□Our warranty does not apply to damages or defects caused by irregular and/or abnormal use of the product.
Our warranty does not apply to damages or defects caused by neglecting the instructions and precautions explained
in this manual.
1.2. Restrictions on Applications
□The camera must not be used for any nuclear equipment or aerospace equipment with which mechanicalfailure
or malfunction could result in serious bodily injury or loss of human life.
□The camera must not be used under conditions or environments other than those specified in this manual.
1.3. Disclaimers (Exception Clause)
CIS should not be liable for any damages or losses if;
damages or losses are caused by earthquake, lightning strike, fire, flood, or other acts of God.
damages or losses are caused by deliberate or accidentalmisuse by user, or failure to observe information and
instructions explained in this manual.
damages or losses are caused by repair or modification conducted by user or any unauthorized party.

4. Camera Functions
4.1. Camera Interface
□Complies with CoaXPress1.1.1 standard.
4.2. How to Save and Initialize Settings
□This is a function to save camera settings in operation into nonvolatile memory and to load setting values saved
in the nonvolatile memory.
□There are two types of setting values.
・User setting values: Setting values that user can arbitrary saveand read out.
・Factory setting: Initial setting values upon shipment from factory.
UserSets
UserSetSelector Default
UserSet0
UserSetLoad
(Execute)
UserSetSave
(Execute)
□UserSetSelector: This is to save the current setting values or to select setting values saved in nonvolatile
memory to read out.
・Default: Factory setting upon shipment from factory.
・UserSet0: User settings.
※Default (Factory setting) is not subject to save.
※Values of UserSetSelector are not subject to save with UserSetSave. The values always become Default.
Please set values before executing UserSetLoad or UserSetSave.
□UserSetLoad: This is to load setting values selected with UserSetSelector.
□UserSetSave: This is to savethe current setting values to the area selected with UserSetSelector.
Note)
・Do not execute UserSetLoad while grabbing (acquiring images).
・Shading correction values, defective pixel correction values, DeviceUserID, and DeviceUserString are not
subject to UserSetLoad for Default. (Camera keeps those values)
・ConnectionConfig, PixelFormat, ImageQualityMode, Reverse X, and Reverse Y are not subject to
UserSetLoad so that camera keeps values in operation. If you wish to change those values, set values
with each command.

※ Software Trigger becomes valid with Rising Edge.
・TriggerSoftware: Software trigger
Camera generates a trigger to capture one frame image by executing this command.
※Set TriggerSource to Software.
・TriggerActivation:
This is to select how to start capturing video or its polarity out of the followings.
・RisingEdge: Fixed trigger shutter mode: Rising edge (Timed).
・FallingEdge: Fixed trigger shutter mode: Falling edge (Timed).
・LevelHigh: Pulse-width trigger shutter mode: High active. (TriggerWidth).
・LevelLow: Pulse-width trigger shutter mode: Low active (TriggerWidth).

4.8. Trigger Sync Mode and Delay Time to Start Exposure
□H Sync Trigger Mode (LineSync): 1H jitter occurs between trigger input and exposure. (enables overlap
operation).
□CLK Sync Trigger Mode (ClockSync): There are few delay from trigger input and exposure. Useful for precise
trigger operation. (disables overlap operation).

4.10. Restrictions on Timing of Trigger Pulse Input
□User can input a trigger for the next frame while camera is reading out signals. However, do not input a trigger
pulse to end exposure while camera is reading out signals. In other words, a trigger pulse to start reading out
signals for the next frame before completion of reading out signals for the current frame is restricted.
・If there is a trigger input with restricted timing explained in the above, “IllegalTriggerFlag” becomes “1”.
Acquisition Control
IllegalTriggerFlag
0 or 1
Device Control

・This is to reset IllegalTriggerFlag to “0”.
4.11.Fixed Trigger Shutter Mode (LineSync) H Sync Trigger
(TriggerMode=On, TriggerSyncMode=LineSync, TriggerActivation= RisingEdge)
□This is a mode to start exposure with external trigger input and expose for a period set by Exposure Time.
□Trigger operation is H Sync. V-sync. Reset.
□Delay time from detecting the trigger edge in the camera to start exposure (Exposure Time Delay) is
10H～13H with full frame scan.
□Since external trigger signals sync with camera internal H signals, 1H jitter occurs with Exposure Time Delay.
□Input more than 1H width pulse with trigger signals. Please refer to chart below for Time for 1H.
