Usage Precautions
Notes on cable configurations
The presence of lighting equipment and television receivers nearby may result in
video noise. In such cases, change the cable configurations or placement.
Notes on attaching the lens
Avoiding dust particles
When attaching the lens to the camera, stray dust and other particles may adhere
to the sensor surface and rear surface of the lens. Be careful of the following
when attaching the lens.
• Work in a clean environment.
• Do not remove the caps from the camera and lens until immediately before
you attach the lens.
• To prevent dust from adhering to surfaces, point the camera and lens
downward and do not allow the lens surface to come into contact with your
hands or other objects.
•Always use a blower brush to remove any dust that adheres.
Never use your hands or cloth, blow with your mouth, or use other methods to
remove dust.
Phenomena specific to CMOS image sensors
The following phenomena are known to occur on cameras equipped with CMOS
image sensors. These do not indicate malfunctions.
• Aliasing
When shooting straight lines, stripes, and similar patterns, vertical aliasing
(zigzag distortion) may appear on the monitor.
• Blooming
When strong light enters the camera, some pixels on the CMOS image sensor
may receive much more light than they are designed to hold, causing the
accumulated signal charge to overflow into surrounding pixels.This
“blooming” phenomenon can be seen in the image, but does not affect the
operation of the camera.
• Fixed pattern noise
When shooting dark objects in high-temperature conditions, fixed pattern noise
may occur throughout the entire video monitor screen.
• Defective pixels
Defective pixels (white and black pixels) of the CMOS image sensor are
minimized at the factory according to shipping standards. However, as this
phenomenon can be affected by the ambient temperature, camera settings
(e.g., high sensitivity and long exposure), and other factors, be sure to operate
within the camera’s specified operating environment.
Notes on exportation
When exporting this product, please follow the export regulations of your country
or region.

GO-5000M-PMCL-UV
Step 1
Connecting Devices
Connect the lens, CameraLink cable, AC adapter, computer, and other devices.
Step 5
Adjusting the Image Quality
Refer to the procedures for adjusting the gain, white balance, and black level as
examples, and adjust the image quality.
Step 6
Saving the Settings
Save the current setting configurations in user memory.
Step 2
Verifying Camera Operation
Verify whether the camera is turned on and ready for use.
Step 3
Verifying the Connection between the Camera and PC
Verify whether the camera is properly recognized via Control Tool.
Step 4
Changing the Camera Settings
Refer to the procedure for changing the output format setting as an example, and
change various settings as necessary.
The most universal method for controlling a Camera Link camera such as the GO-5000M-
PMCL-UV is by the use of short ASCII commands sent via serial communications. All
Camera Link frame grabber boards support the use of these short ASCII commands.
SDKs that utilize these ASCII commands for developing machine vision applications are
typically available from the grabber manufacturer, as well as from third-party vendors.
This section describes how to configure various camera settings using serial
communication and specific short ASCII commands. A complete list of all available ASCII
commands for this camera can be found at the end of this manual.
Later sections of the manual refer to GenICam nomenclature for various
features/functions, and includes a complete list of all camera settings starting on Page 54.
The GO-5000M-PMCL-UV fully supports applications written using GenICam-based SDKs.
The advantage of this is that programs written using GenICam names can be applied with
little or no modification to control cameras with other GenICam-compliant interfaces and
even GenICam-compliant cameras from different vendors.

②Direct connection（or MP-43 tripod adapter plate）
When mounting the camera directly to a wall or other device, use screws that match the
camera locking screw holes on the camera (M3, depth: 3 mm). Use the supplied screws to
attach the tripod adapter plate.
For heavy lenses, be sure to support the lens itself. Do not use configurations in which its weight
is supported by the camera.
Caution
③Camera Link cable
Connect the Camera Link cable to the Mini Camera Link connector.
•Use a cable that supports the Camera Link standard and is compatible with Mini Camera Link
(SDR) connectors.
•Refer to the specifications of the cable for details on its bend radius.
•For details on the cable, see “②Mini Camera Link connector”
④Frame grabber board
Refer to the operating instructions of the frame grabber board, and configure settings on
the computer as necessary.
GO-5000M-PMCL-UV
Secure the locking screws on the connector
manually, and do not use a driver. Do not secure
the screws too tightly. Doing so may wear down the
screw threads on the camera. (Tightening torque:
0.291±0.049 N·m or less) Secure manually.
Do not secure too tightly.
Caution

Step 2: Verifying Camera Operation
When power is supplied to the camera while the necessary equipment is connected, the
POWER/TRIG LED at the rear of the camera lights amber, and initialization of the camera
starts.When initialization is complete, the POWER/TRIG LED lights green.
Verify whether power is being supplied to the camera by checking the rear LED.
When properly turned on
* For details on how to read the LEDs, see “LED status and camera status” in the “Parts
Identification” section.

Step 3: Verifying the Connection between the Camera
and PC
Use a short ASCII command to verify whether the GO-5000M-PMCL-UV is properly recognized
in your setup.
Please install terminal emulator software capable of serial communication to the PC connected
to the camera via the frame grabber board.
Then set the following serial communication.

Adjusting the Black Level
The gain control uses Analog Base Gain and Digital Gain.
Analog Base Gain can be set at 0dB, +6dB or +12dB.
The digital gain is used for the master gain setting.
For setting the gain,
1. Set analog gain (Select from 0dB, +6dB and +12dB)
2. Set digital gain
The master gain (DigitalAll) can be set x1 (0dB) to x16 (+24dB) against the analog
base gain. The resolution for gain setting is x0.01/step which is 0.05dB to 0.08dB,
depending on the setting value.
The black level can be set in the following range.
GO-5000M-PMCL-UV: DigitalAll：-256～+255

Note
1. In this table, not all tap geometry items are described. For instance, 1X4–1Y shows only 12-bit.
In case of 10-bit, upper 2 bits (D10 and D11) are not used and in case of 8-bit, upper 4 bits
(D8 through D11) are not used.
2. Please check whether the frame grabber complies with those formats if you use 80-bit
(8-tap/10-bit) camera configuration.
3. If you use 80-bit (8-tap/10-bit) camera configuration, DVAL and Exposure Active (JAI custom)
are not output through the Camera Link interface. FVAL is only output via Digital I/O-1
connector.
Camera Link pixel clock frequency
In the GO-5000M-PMCL-UV, the Camera Link pixel clock can be selected from 84.99 MHz, 72.85
MHz, 58.28 MHz, and 48.57 MHz. If the 48.57MHz clock is used, the transfer length through the
camera link cable will be extended to 10m for all tap geometries. On the other hand, the frame rate
will be reduced (see table). The default setting is 72.85 MHz.
Note: The maximum lengths shown in the above table are guidelines. Operating at these lengths
may generate bit noise, depending on the cable used.

GPIO
GPIO is a general interface for input and output which controls the I/O for trigger signals and
other valid signals and pulse generators. By using this interface you can control an external light
source, make a delay function for an external trigger signal, or make a precise exposure setting
together with a PWC trigger.
