Description
The 4M30 digital camera provides high-sensitivity 12-bit images with 2k x 2k spatial
resolution at up to 30 frames per second (fps). The 4M30 is a full frame CCD camera using
a progressive scan CCD to simultaneously achieve outstanding resolution and gray scale
characteristics. A square pixel format and high fill factor provide superior, quantifiable
image quality even at low light levels.
Applications
The 4M30 is an outstanding performer in fast, very high resolution applications. True 12
bit performance provides up to 4096 distinct gray levels—perfect for applications with

4M30 Camera User’s Manual 6

large interscene light variations. The low-noise, digitized video signal also makes the
camera an excellent choice where low contrast images must be captured in challenging
applications.
1.2 Image Sensor

2.1 Installation Overview
In order to set up your camera, you should take these initial steps:
1. Power down all equipment.
2. Following the manufacturer’s instructions, install the frame grabber (if applicable). Be
sure to observe all static precautions.
3. Install any necessary imaging software.
4. Before connecting power to the camera, test all power supplies. Ensure that all the correct
voltages are present at the camera end of the power cable (Refer to the Camera Performance
Specifications on page 7). Power supplies must meet the requirements defined in
section 2.4 Power Input.
5. Inspect all cables and connectors prior to installation. Do not use damaged cables or
connectors or the camera may be damaged.
6. Connect data, serial interface, and power cables.
7. After connecting cables, apply power to the camera. The POST (power on self test)
LED on the back of the camera should glow green after one second to indicate that
the camera is operating and ready to receive commands.
2.2 Input/Output
The camera provides 12-bit LVDS data and synchronization signals through the data
output connector. Camera functions such as integration time, camera gain and offset are
all controllable by the user via the RS232 serial port. The camera is capable of free running
operation or may be triggered externally via the input TRIGGER IN. TRIGGER OUT
allows the synchronization of shutters or illumination sources in free running or
externally triggered modes.
This installation
overview assumes you
have not installed any
system components yet.

meet these requirements.
DALSA offers a linear power supply
(with cables) that meets the 4M30’s
requirements (Universal Power Supply,
part number 24-00001-02, contact DALSA
for more information), but it should not
be considered the only choice. Many high
quality supplies are available from other
vendors. DALSA assumes no
responsibility for the use of these
supplies.
When setting up the camera’s power supplies, follow these guidelines:
xDo not connect or disconnect cable while power is on.
xDo not use the shield on a multi-conductor cable for ground.
xKeep leads as short as possible to reduce voltage drop.
xUse high-quality linear supplies to minimize noise.
!
WARNING: It is extremely
important that you apply
the appropriate voltages to
your camera. Incorrect
voltages will damage the
camera.

2.6 Serial Communication
Connector and Pinout
The serial interface provides control of frame rate, integration time (shuttering), video
gain and offset, external trigger and external integration. For information on how to
control these functions, see Camera Operation, beginning on page 20. The remote
interface consists of a two-wire (plus ground) full duplex RS-232 compatible serial link,
used for camera configuration, and two back panel SMA coax connectors used for
external trigger input and output.
IMPORTANT:
This camera uses the
TOZZW\U edge of the pixel
clock to register data.

DALSA 03-32-10030-03
RJ-11
View into female jack
6-position with 4 conductors
RXDTXDGND
The camera uses an RJ-11 telephone-style connector for serial
communications, with four conductors installed in a six-
position connector. Note that both four- and six- conductor
plugs may be used interchangeably with the RJ-11 jack.
IMPORTANT: Both the PC/AT and the camera are configured
as “DTE”(Data Terminal Equipment) devices requiring the
TXD and RXD lines to be swapped when interconnecting
the two (note that pin 4, normally the yellow wire, is not
used on the RJ-11.) That is, the TXD pin represents DATA
OUT and the RXD pin represents DATA IN on both
devices, so that one device’s TXD line must connect to the
other device’s RXD line and vice-versa.

Data bits 8
Stop bits 1
Parity None
The serial interface operates at RS-232 levels with fixed parameters of 9600 baud, 1 start
bit, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity. The interface uses only three wires, for received
data, transmitted data, and ground. In general writing data must start with a write
command byte and be followed by a data byte. Reading a camera register requires only a
single read command byte.
WARNING: Due to initialization sequencing after power-up, no commands should be sent
to the camera for a minimum of 1 second after power up.
Serial Cable Source
The remote interface connector, on the
cameras rear panel, is specified as a low-
profile RJ-11 modular connector. The
connector is a 6-position model, but only the
center four positions are populated with
contacts. It will mate with either the 4-
position or 6-position cable plugs. This type
of connector typically requires special
assembly tools; complete cable assemblies are
available from suppliers such as Digi-Key:

2.7 TTL Trigger Input and Output
Connector
The camera uses an SMA connector (labeled TRIGGER IN) to allow the user to provide a
standard TTL signal to control camera integration and readout. The input is high
impedance (>10.5K), allowing the user to terminate at the SMA input as needed. The
camera has another SMA connector (TRIGGER OUT) that provides a standard TTL
output which is high whenever the camera is integrating.

Figure 6: Trigger Timing Description
2.8 Integration Time
The minimum integration time (or shutter time) is 10 Ps. As with any full frame imager,
the camera will continue to integrate during read out unless externally shuttered or
strobed.
2.9 Timing
The 4M30 pixel clock runs at 40 MHz, so each pixel clock cycle will be 1/40,000,000 or 25ns.

3.1 How to Control the Camera
The 4M30’s RS-232-compatible serial interface allows you to control its configuration and
operation, including:
•Triggering Mode
•Frame Rate
•Integration Time
•Gain
•Offset
•Reset
Command Protocol Overview
The camera accepts 8-bit command/value pairs
via its RJ-11 serial port using RS-232 compatible
signals.
Camera commands are divided into two basic
sets:
•“clock”commands which apply to the
electronics that drive the image sensor. These
include clock generation, frame rate,
integration time, and binning. Clock commands effect the entire camera, and are not
channel specific. A single command will impact all channels.
•“ADC”commands which apply to the electronics that process and digitize the video.
These include gain and offset. ADC commands are channel specific. Four separate
commands must be issued to change all four channels.

4M30 Camera User’s Manual 19
DALSA 03-32-10030-03
!
•Each set of commands includes read and write variants. With the exception of reset
commands, all 8-bit write commands must be followed by an 8-bit data byte. The
commands are interpreted as follows:
Table 12: ADC Bit Definitions
Bit Function
0:3 Command Register Address (Reference
Table 12)
4:5 ADC Board Address
00 = ADC Channel 1
01 = ADC Channel 2
10 = ADC Channel 3
11 = ADC Channel 4
6Command Type
0 = Write
1 = Read
7BoardType
0 = ADC Board
1 = Clock Board
•Any commands not listed in this manual should be considered invalid to the 4M30
user.
•A number of functions and modes depend on the ADC/Control Register settings.
These settings are detailed in the following sections.
•The “Write Control Register”command is used to write data that controls specific
camera triggering and test functions. This command must be followed by a data byte
with bits defined in Table 15.
•The “Read”command allows interrogation of the camera to determine current
configuration.
WARNING: Any commands not listed should be considered invalid. Writing to invalid
addresses may overwrite camera calibration information, requiring the camera to be
returned for recalibration.
WARNING: Due to initialization sequencing after power-up, no commands should be
sent to the camera for a minimum of 1 second after power up.
