1. Handling Precautions
The camera module must not be used for any nuclear equipments or aerospace equipments with which
mechanical failure or malfunction could result in serious bodily injury or loss of human life. Our warranty
does not apply to damages or defects caused by irregular and/or abnormal use of the product.
All specifications contained herein are subject to change without prior notice. Reproduction in whole or in
part is prohibited.
Please observe all warnings and cautions stated below.
Our warranty does not apply to damages or malfunctions caused by neglecting these precautions.
Do not use or store the camera module in the dusty or humid places.
Do not apply excessive force, vibration, or static electricity that could damage the camera. Handle the camera
with caution.
Do not shoot direct images that are extremely bright (e.g., light source, sun, etc). When extremely strong light
source is shot, smear or blooming may occur. When the camera is not in use, please put the protection cap on.
Follow the instructions in Chapter 5, “External Connector Pin Assignment” for connecting the camera module.
Improper connection may cause damages not only to the camera module but also to the connected devices.
Confirm the mutual ground potential carefully and then connect the camera module to monitors or
computers. AC leaks from the connected devices may cause damages or destroy the camera module.
Do not apply excessive voltage. (Use only the specified voltage.) Unstable or improper power supply
voltage may cause damages or malfunction of the camera assembly.
Do not disassemble the camera. The camera once disassembled shall be out of warranty.

This is to set how to input triggers of external trigger sync mode.
CXP_Host：This is to use Low Speed uplink of CoaXPress to input triggers via coaxial cable connected to a frame grabber
board.
LineIn：This is to input triggers via No. 5 pin of the 6pin circular connector of the camera rear.
・TriggerSoftware
This command is to generate a trigger in the camera and capture image for 1 frame. Please note that the trigger timing
is not so accurate like the one generated by TriggerSource. The Acquisition Control mode which can be used are only

7.3.2 External Trigger Sync Mode

Some delay shall be considered from when camera recognized the trigger edge to when actual exposure starts.
Please refer to the delay time as below.

・Notes for trigger pulse input timing
The next trigger pulse can be input while reading out signals. However, please do not input a trigger pulse which ends its
exposure while reading out the prior signals. In other words, a trigger pulse, while reading out signals for the prior frame and
starts reading out signals for the next frame, cannot be input.
When a trigger is input with the restricted timing explained the above, or with the timing to end exposure right after FVAL
becomes “L”, video output from the camera might be stopped. In such case or when proper image data cannot be output,
execute “SensorReset”command after trigger input is stopped to re-start camera operation.
※In case of when camera does not start operating, please reboot the camera.

・Notes for the delay time between trigger pulse and exposure start
Due to image sensor’s own characteristics, the timing, for standard operation and overlapped operation, from when a trigger is
input to the image sensor to when the actual exposure starts, would be different. With standard operation, the exposure for
the next frame starts after completion of reading out the prior frame. With overlapped operation, the next exposure starts
while reading out the prior frame.
※The variable range of delay time is determined by the settings of frame rate and exposure time.
Under the certain conditions, it does not change randomly.
7.3.2.1. Fixed Trigger Shutter Mode
This is the mode to start exposure by the input trigger signals, and to set its exposure time manually or with preset.
･Set "TriggerSelectorAndActivation" to "FrameStartRisingEdge" or "FrameStartFallingEdge".
・Trigger cycle needs to be longer than FVAL period (≒1/frame rate).
・Trigger cycle needs to be longer than the exposure time.
・Trigger operation is CLK Sync HV Sync Reset.
・Trigger pulse width to be input shall be over 30us.
・The maximum exposure time depends on ROI setting, "PixelFormat", and Link configuration.

7.3.2.2. Pulse Width Trigger Shutter Mode
This is the mode to start exposure by the input trigger signals, and to set its exposure time with trigger pulse width.
・Set "TriggerSelectorAndActivation" to "FrameStartLevelHigh" or "FrameStartLevelLow".
・Trigger cycle needs to be longer than FVAL period (≒1/framerate).
・Trigger operation is CLK Sync H-V Sync Reset.
・The minimum pulse width shall be 100µs.
･Functionally, there is no upper or lower limitation. However, at long exposure, some noises, lines, pearskin-like noises, and

* If DetectShading is executed with no video output at trigger mode operation, it cannot operate properly.
To operate DetectShading properly, a trigger signal shall be input within 200ms after execution.
･Shading Correction
Turn ShadingCorrection ON to start shading correction according to the shading correction data prepared by
DetectShading function.

8.7 Black Level adjustment

BlackOffset
0～255
・The initial setting value is 20.
・Black level is adjustable with relative values. When it is increased by 1, its luminance level changes by approx. 0.25
at 8 bit output, and it changes by approx. 1.0 at 10 bit output.
・When the lower values than the initial value are set, saturation level would not achieve to the maximum value for
output range.

System error occurred.
※There could be some cases that LED Red blinks to show system error, even though its operation is normal.
This can happen if the camera recognized an error in any occasion such as when a trigger was input at the
prohibited timing, and when ROI or sub-sampling was changed with keep grabbing video output. This is because
error indication status was kept since those errors occurred. To restore this to normal LED lighting status, reboot
the camera, or execute Device Control—SensorReset

9. Sequence Control Function
This is the function to select one set of parameter out of the several preset parameter sets per every trigger input, and
apply it to the camera.
・The maximum 8 kinds of parameter sets can be preset. The following parameters can be set per parameter.
Settable parameter：Shutter and Gain.
・Operation sequence is specified as "Index". Specify the parameter set number to be applied for the maximum 8
indexes.
・There are three control modes; trigger mode, burst mode, and index mode.
・For the settable AquisitionMode (Camera operational mode) and SequenceActivation (Start operation) which
correspond to sequence mode, please refer to the below chart.
9.1 Basic Operation
Please set the following operational modes before using sequence control function.
(1) Settings of AquisitionControl --- TriggerSelectorAndActivation
This is to set camera operational mode.
(2) Settings of Sub-sampling and ROI
Turn OFF SubsamplingMode. ROI of ImageFormatControl shall be ROIQuickChangeOff.
These are invalid with sequence control function.
(3) Settings of parameter table for sequence (SequenceParameterSetSelector)
Set Exposure Time and Gain for each parameter set.
(4) Settings of parameter set to be used for sequence (ParameterIndexNumber), index loop count
(IndexLoopCouunt), whole sequence loop count (SEquenceLoopCount), and index range to be used
(ActiveIndexNumber).
(5) Settings of SequencerControl --- SequencerActivation
This is to set the start operation of sequence mode. By setting preferred SequenceActivation from Off, it will be
standing by for a trigger.
(6) Sequence control operation starts by inputting a trigger to start sequence function.
