1) FrameTriggerWait
The user can check the camera condition (camera exposure and image output processing by the trigger signal with
this FrameTriggerWait signal).
This signal is LOW for the period from the trigger input signal to the image output.
a) High status (3.3V): No processing by the trigger signal. The camera accepts the trigger signal.
b) Low status (0V): The camera is exposed and the image output processes by the trigger signal.
The camera default setting is the input trigger signal is INVALID while at the low status of this signal. When the
exposure starts while the image output by the next trigger signal, please change the camera setting (Device code:
00H, ommand No. :13H) to accept the trigger signal while the image outputs.
The noise appears on the image when the exposure begins while the image is output. The noise appears on the
image when the start exposure while the image is output. In this case, please change the “H reset” for the exposure
start mode (Device code: 00H, ommand No. : 12H) to change the exposure start point to the next HD timing.
2) UserOutput
The status of the UserOutput signal can change with the “UserOutputValue”.
a) High status (3.3V)
b) Low status (0V).
3) ExposureActive
The user can check the exposure time with the ExposureActive signal.
a) High status (3.3V): The camera is exposing
b) Low status (0V): The camera is not exposed
4) TriggerAuxiliary
The TriggerAuxiliary signal is the input trigger signal.
5) TriggerInternal
The TriggerInternal signal is the input trigger signal with the trigger delay time.
6) SensorReadOut
The SensorReadOut signal is the FVAL signal, which is the image output period of the time.
7) StrobeSignal
The StrobeSignal signal is the strobe control signal.

Camera Operational Modes
3.1 Normal Mode
3.2 Pulse Width Trigger Mode
In this trigger mode with positive polarity, the camera exposure starts at the rising edge of the trigger pulse and
stops at the falling edge of the trigger pulse. Therefore, if positive polarity exposure is selected, the exposure periods
are the high states of the trigger pulse.
3.2.1 Timing
Note 1: The video output is going to be V reset by the next internal HD signal immediately after the exposure is finished.
The exposure time is set by the pulse width of the trigger signal.
Note 2: The FVAL signal does not output when the exposure by the trigger signal does not exist.

3.3 Edge Preset Trigger Mode
In this “edge preset trigger mode”, the camera exposure starts at the rising edge of the trigger signal like the “pulse
width trigger mode” in the previous sections. However, in this mode, the exposure duration time is based on the preset
value stored by the by the camera setting communication.

3.4 Edge Preset Trigger Mode (Trigger Input While the Image Is Out)
In this trigger mode, the camera exposure starts at the rising edge of the trigger pulse.
If trigger signal input is required while the image is out, then it is necessary to disable the trigger signal
mask with the communication.
To avoid generating additional noise on the image, it is necessary to set the “H reset” at the exposure start
mode.

3.5 H Reset Mode
In this mode, the exposure can be start during the video is out from the camera without the horizontal noises.
Therefore, generates the SUB pulse to sweep the charges during the horizontal blanking to prevent from getting
horizontal noises.
The image is getting the horizontal noises caused by generates the SUB pulse during the video out in normal mode,
which is this mode is OFF.
The maximum delay to start exposure from the trigger input is 1H.
