To operate SyncIn correctly, a SyncIn driver circuit has to be used.
Minimum Sink Current (TTL Low Level) of the SyncIn Driver has to be
5mA. At 5mA Sink Current the input level at the SyncIn camera input
drops below 0,8Volts.
Source Current (TTL High Level).of the SyncIn Driver is neglible (0mA)
Easiest driver circuit is a Transistor working in open collector
configuration.
SyncIn input voltage limit ranges from – 5 Volts to + 30 Volts. Voltages
applied beyond these limits may damage the SyncIn Input.
SyncOut has a built in 50 Ohm driver.
At 50 Ohm termination, the driver voltage is in between 0 (low level) to
~2 Volts (high level). At high impedance termination, the driver voltage
is in between 0 (low level) to ~4 Volts (high level).
SyncOut voltage limit ranges from 0 Volt to + 5 Volts. Voltages applied
beyond these limits may damage the SyncOut Output.
The Auxiliary connector may also be used to update the firmware of the
camera. Please use the USB2 programming adapter cable.

CoaxPress Data Channels
To operate the camera, all 4 CoaxPress Channels (Labeling: BNC 4x) have to
be used. Channel 1 is Master link. Channel 2, Channel 3 and Channel 4 are
Extension links. Channel 1 uses Power over CoaxPress (PoCXP). Speeds of
the Downlink are 6,25Gbit/s, 5,00Gbit/s or 3,125Gbit/s depending on the speed
transfer capabilities of the frame grabber.

Lens mount and handling
Nikon F-Mount adapter
Figure: Camera with Nikon F-Mount adapter
To mount the lens, it has to be positioned on the lens-holder in a way, that the
back surface of the lens is completely attached to the surface of the lens-
holder.
The lens-reference has to be positioned in face to the lens-holder reference as
shown in the figure below. Then, the lens has to be turned anti-clockwise until
the silver clip on the lens-holder locks.

To unmount the lens, pull back first the silver clip in order to unlock the lens as
shown below. Then (the silver clip has still to be pulled back) turn the lens
clockwise until the lens is unmounted completely.

To mount the C-Mount lens, unscrew the protective cover anti-clockwise and
mount the C-Mount lens into the lens holder.
To unmount the lens, unscrew the C-Mount lens anti-clockwise.
Important features
The CamRecord CL4000CXP CoaxPress cameras are a high resolution, high
frame rate CMOS area scan camera that are designed for industrial use. The
image sensor and the camera offer exceptional high performance:
•excellent image quality
•excellent sensitivity
•low noise
•monochrome and color
•internal and external synchronisation

CamRecord CL600x2CXP Ref. 1867-SU-01-B Page 16
•Region of Interest (ROI)
Frame format
The Frame format (frame resolution) of the camera is 2304 active Pixels in
horizontal (x) direction and 1720 active Pixels in vertical (y) direction at full
resolution. The frame format can be reduced by factor of 128 Pixel in horizontal
direction and factor of 4 Pixel in vertical direction.
The frame format can be reduced by selecting a region of interest (ROI).
Minimum Frame rate (@ internal synchronisation)
Minimum frame rate is limited to 50 fps in free run mode.
Maximum Frame rate (@ internal synchronisation)
The minimum frame interval (maximum frame rate) that can be reached by the
camera internal synchronisation mode depends on the CoaxPress Speed (Bit
Rate).

Frame Rate (@ external synchronisation)
For external synchronisation please apply a TTL signal to the Sync In and Sync
Out BNC adapter of the adapter cable (scope of delivery). External
synchronisation may be operated in level detection mode. Please see the
external synchronisation timing for more information about resulting frame rates
and exposure times.
Alternatively SyncIn can be applied directly between Pin 1 and Pin 3 on the
camera power (Pwr.) connector, Sync Out between Pin 4 and Pin 3. The
synchronisation output can be used to synchronise other devices as e.g.
additional cameras or external light flashes.
The External synchronisation frame rate range can reach any value
between 50 fps and maximum Frame Rate @ internal synchronisation.
