1. Handling Precautions
The camera module must not be used for any nuclear equipment or aerospace equipment 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 care.
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.

・TriggerSource
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
This is a mode to input external trigger signals to capture images by any preferred timings.
Some delay shall be considered from when camera recognized the trigger edge to when actually the trigger is input to the
image sensor. Please refer to the delay time as below.
TriggerSource Delay Time
CXP_Host Approx. 3.4 μs
LineIn Approx. 150 ns
・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.
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.

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 limitation. However, at long exposure, some noises, lines, pearskin-like noises, and shading
might be noticeable.

※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
