TriggerSyncMode:
LineSync: H sync. trigger mode (Control exposure time per line)
※High frame rate operation is valid by overlapping operation (exposure while readout
images).
※Since it synchronizes with H, 1 line of jitter may occur for external trigger input.
ClockSync: CLK sync. trigger mode (Control exposure time per sensor clock)
※Overlapping operation (exposure while readout images) is invalid.
※Since it synchronizes with CLK, this mode can start exposure with low-latency for
external trigger input.
TriggerSource: This is to select where to send external triggers.
LinkTrigger0: External trigger input from CoaXPress Host Device.
Please refer to specification manuals of the Host Device such as frame grabber board to
know how to generate triggers.
Line0: External trigger input from 6pins circular connector.
Software: Input trigger with TriggerSoftware command.
※Software Trigger is valid when TriggerActivation is Rising Edge.
TriggerSoftware: Camera generates a trigger to capture one frame image by executing this command.
Make sure to set TriggerSource to Software.
TriggerActivation: This is to select how to start capturing video or its polarity.
RisingEdge: Fixed trigger shutter mode: Start exposure (Timed) with rising edge.
FallingEdge: Fixed trigger shutter mode: Start exposure (Timed) with falling edge. (※)
LevelHigh: Pulse width trigger shutter mode: Exposure during high active period. (TriggreWidth)
LevelLow: Pulse width trigger shutter mode: Exposure during low active period. (TriggreWidth) (※)
※When set FallingEdge and LevelLow with LinkTrigger0, disturbance images may occur at the first time
grabbing after setting.
Combination of trigger mode ※ Please refer to the next section for the detail on each combination.
4.6.3 Fixed trigger shutter mode + H sync trigger (LineSync)
(TriggerMode=On, TriggerSyncMode=LineSync, TriggerActivation= RisingEdge)
□This is a mode to start exposure with external trigger input and expose for a set period.
□Trigger operation is H sync. Also, high speed operation is valid since user can input next trigger while reading out
images (=overlap). However, 1H jitter will occur to exposure timing due to H sync. operation.
□Set Frame rate (=trigger input cycle) lower than Max. frame rate explained in Section 3.5.2. Frame rate of External
Trigger Sync. Mode.
□There is a restriction for trigger input. Please refer to Section 4.6.7. Restrictions on Trigger Pulse Input Timing.

4.6.5 Pulse width trigger shutter mode + H sync. trigger (LineSync)
(TriggerMode=On, TriggerSyncMode=LineSync, TriggerActivation=LevelHigh)
□This is to start exposure with external trigger input, and control exposure time with trigger pulse width.
□Trigger operation is H sync. Also, high speed operation is valid since user can input next trigger while reading out
images (=overlap). However, 1H jitter will occur to exposure timing due to H sync. operation.
※1H jitter may occur at the equivalent of exposure start and exposure end.
□Camera can operate long time exposure by extending trigger pulse width. However, noises such as dark noise and
shading noise may be noticeable.
□Set Frame rate (=trigger input cycle) lower than Max. frame rate explained in Section 3.5.2. Frame rate of External
Trigger Sync. Mode.
□There is a restriction for trigger input. Please refer to Section 4.6.7. Restrictions on Trigger Pulse Input Timing.

(TriggerMode=On, TriggerSyncMode=ClockSync, TriggerActivation=LevelHigh)
□This is to start exposure with external trigger input, and control exposure time with trigger pulse width.
□Since it synchronizes with CLK, this mode can start/end exposure with low-latency for external trigger input. User
cannot input next trigger while reading out images.
□Set Frame rate (=trigger input cycle) lower than Max. frame rate explained in Section 3.5.2. Frame rate of External

4.6.7 Restrictions on Trigger Pulse Input Timing
Please refer to the following restrictions for external trigger input timing. Error will occur if these restrictions are not
met.
(1) With TriggerSyncMode=ClockSync, user cannot input next trigger until completion of readout images.
Input triggers after completed readout.

(2) User can input the next trigger while reading out images with TriggerSyncMode=LineSync, However, end
exposure before completion of readout is invalid. Make sure to end exposure after completion of readout, then
start readout.
(3) Do not input the next trigger during exposure period with TriggerSyncMode=LineSync and TriggerActivation=
RisingEdge/FallingEdge.
When there is an external trigger input during restricted period, camera LED emission status becomes error. User can
check the error status with the following command as well.
Acquisition Control
IllegalTriggerFlag
0 or 1 (ReadOnly)
IllegalTriggerFlag: If there is a trigger input with restricted timing explained in the above, “IllegalTriggerFlag”
becomes “1”.
Device Control
ErrorFlagReset
(Execute)
ErrorFlagReset: This is to reset IllegalTriggerFlag to “0”.

ExposureMode : This is to check if current mode is Timed or TriggerWidth.
ExposureTime : Set exposure time with us unit. Valid when ExposureMode is Timed.
・Set per 1H when the trigger operation is H sync. It will return the value (us) rounded by 1H.
・Set per approx. 1us when the trigger operation is CLK sync.
ExposureTimeMax : Settable Max. exposure time (us).
4.7.1 Formula to Calculate Manual Shutter Values with H Sync Mode
ExposureTime will be rounded to the value corresponds to the following formula.
Exposure time = Time for 1 line x Exposure line count +14.26us
・The Min. value for exposure line count is 1 line.
・The Max. value will be clipped with 1088 or with the total line count of partial mode.
4.8 Gain
AnalogControl
Gain
1.00 ~ 256.00
Gain: User can set gain value in the range of x1.00~x256.00. However, with high gain settings (x64.00 or
more), noise will increase and image quality deteriorates. (With 8bit mode, image quality deteriorates
with x16.00 or more gain due to x4 offset gain.)
4.9 Black Level Adjustment
BlackOffset : This is not a function to set absolute value of black level.
User can adjust black level of image sensor proportionally.
This is a value converted by 12bit. The value will be equivalent to 1/4 of setting value with 10bit,
and equivalent to 1/16 of setting value with 8bit.
