1Handling 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.

・Notes for trigger pulse input timing
A trigger pulse can be input during Readout. However, please do not input a trigger pulse while reading out signals for the prior
frame since it ends its exposure. (In other words, please avoid inputting a trigger pulse while reading out signals for the prior
frame and starts reading out signals for the next frame.)
Video output from the camera might not be executed when the trigger is input again at the prohibited timing, or right after
FVAL turns to “L”at the timing of the end of exposure. If the camera stops operating, or cannot output image data without
malfunctions, please execute “SensorReset”command after quitting trigger input to start the operation again.
※If the camera does not start its operation, please execute the restoration of power.

Notes for the delay time for trigger pulse and exposure start
Due to the image sensor’s features, there will be a difference between normal readout operation (exposure for next frame
starts after readout has completed) and overlapping readout operation (exposure for next frame starts while readout.) There
should be some gap of timing when trigger has input to image sensor, and the actual timing that exposure starts.

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 the time for FVAL term (≒1/frame rate.)
・Trigger cycle needs to be longer than the exposure time.
・Trigger operation is CLK Sync HV Sync Reset.
・More than 30µs of trigger pulse width can be input.
・Maximum exposure time depends on ROI settings, “PixelFormat”, and link rate.

Pulse Width Trigger Shutter Mode
This is a mode to start exposure by inputting 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 the time for FVAL term (≒1/frame rate.)
・Trigger operation is CLK Sync H-V Sync Reset.
・Minimum trigger width is 30µs.
※Functionally, there is no upper limitation. However, at long exposure, some noises, lines, pearskin-like noises, and
shading might be noticeable.

This is to increase the video out level with the preset gain or manual gain. The setting values are powered values. When
preset value is set, it will be reflected to the manual setting value.
※Functionally, gain-up function is up to +32 times. However, the image quality will be reduced when gain setting is
increased. We recommend you to evaluate it first.

8.4 Sub-Sampling
This is a mode to increase its frame rate by reducing the pixel numbers to read out, reducing both horizontal and vertical pixel
number in half, that is, 1/4 of the entire pixels. The field angle remains the same as the one for full resolution.

・This mode cannot be used with ROI mode.
・Execute re-grabbing the viewer to acquire images.

・Shading Detection (DetectShading)
Shoot a uniform object such as a pattern box, to full screen, then turn shading detection ON, to calculate and save the
correction data automatically in the camera.
※When setting a shading correction data, please make sure that ROI and sub-sampling settings are OFF.
※When execute DetectShading, please make sure to input trigger within 200ms after executing.
