FrameStartLevelLow ：External trigger sync. mode (Pulse width trigger shutter mode：Low active)
FrameBurstStart ：Internal sync. mode (Burst mode of Sequence function)
・TriggerSource
This is to set how to input the trigger at external trigger sync. mode.
LinkTrigger0：Using LOW SPEED uplink of CoaXPress, input triggers from a frame grabber board via coaxial cable.
LineIn：Input triggers via No. 5 pin of the circular connector on the camera rear.
・TriggerSoftware
When this command is executed, a trigger is generated in the camera and images for 1 frame are captured.
Please be noted that time accuracy with this trigger is not so precise as the trigger generated by
TriggerSource explained the above. Only TriggerSelectorAndActivation --- FrameStartRisingEdge mode can be used
as Acquisition Control mode.
7.3.1 Internal Sync. Mode (Free Run Mode)
This is a mode to use triggers continuously made in the camera. No external trigger shall be used.

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 recognizes the trigger edge to when actual exposure starts.
Please refer to below for the delay time.
Input Delay Time
LinkTrigger0 Approx. 3.4us
Line0 Approx. 150ns
・Notes for trigger pulse input timing
A trigger pulse for the next frame can be input while reading out. However, please do not input a trigger pulse to end
exposure while reading out signals for the prior frame.(In other words, please avoid inputting a trigger to start reading
the next frame while reading out signals for the prior frame.)
No video would be output in case of when a trigger was re-input at the restricted timing explained the above, or at the
timing to end exposure right after FVAL became “L”. In such cases or when proper images cannot be output, stop
inputting a trigger, then execute “SensorReset” command to re-start.
※Should it cannot be solved, please reboot the camera.
Device Control
SensorReset (Execute)
・Notes for the delay time between trigger pulse and actual exposure start.
Due to the image sensor’s features, there will be a timing difference between normal readout operation (exposure for the
next frame starts after reading out completes.) and overlapping readout operation (exposure for the next frame starts
while reading out.). There are some gap of timing between when a trigger is input to the image sensor, and when
exposure actually starts.

※ The variable value of delay time is determined depending on the settings of its frame rate and exposure time.
Values shall not be changed randomly under fixed condition.
□Fixed Trigger Shutter Mode
This is a mode to start exposure by inputting 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/framerate).
・Trigger cycle needs to be longer than exposure time.
・Trigger operation is CLK sync H-V sync reset.
・Trigger pulse more than 30µs width can be input.
・The maximum exposure time depends on ROI settings, “PixelFormat”, and link configuration.

DetectShading (Execute)
・Shading detection (DetectShading)
Shoot a uniform object such as a pattern box to full screen, then execute DetectShading to calculate and save
the correction data automatically in the camera.
※When detect shading, please turn OFF ROI, sub-sampling, and shading correction.
※Shading detection does not operate properly without video output when trigger mode is in operation.
To execute DetectShading, please input a trigger within 200ms after executed DetectShading.
・Shading correction (ShadingCorrection)
Turn Shading Correction ON to execute shading correction function on the images according to the data made by
shading detection.
8.7 Black Offset
AnalogControl
BlackOffset 0~255
・The default value is 64.
・Black level is adjustable with relative values. When it is increased or decreased 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 a lower value than the initial value is set, saturation level would not achieve to the maximum value for output range.
