■ Area Gain See page 8
You can set the individual digital gain (0 to 32times) to
16 optional rectangular areas. In the case that multiple
rectangular areas overlap, the gain value with the smaller
area number will have priority.
The image can be optimized to suit the subject (part), in
applications such as part inspection.
■Image Flip
You can flip the image vertically or horizontally, or rotate it 180
degrees.
■Defect Correction
This function is useful for applications that require high
resolution.
It corrects clear defect points and opaque defect points of
the image sensor.
It can also correct any white or black flecks that may appear
in the image due to factors such as cosmic rays. From the
peripheral pixels, correction is performed on coordinate
pixels in which defects are detected.
Factory setting and user setting can be selected.
* Factory setting :ON
■ Shading Correction See page 9
Depending on the characteristic of the lens, shadings caused
by a drop in the amount of light around the lens, or light
source variation, are corrected.

■Binning (only XCG-CG160 )
Supports binning in vertical and horizontal 2 pixel units and
increases frame rate without changing the angle of view as
well as enhances the sensitivity.
■ Partial scan
(
Multi ROI) See page 12
(only XCG-CG160/CG160C)
Arbitrarily read out images including any 2 (max.) rectangular
area from the maximum effective imaging area.
Due to this, you will be capable of limiting read out
information, thus accelerating the frame rate.
■ Partial Scan
The partial scan function outputs a user-defined region (Area
Of Interest) within the overall image area. The cut-out region
for partial scan is defined by Offset X and Offset Y (which
indicate the start point for cutting), and Width and Height (which
indicate the area). Contiguous blocks of minimum areas can
be selected to define regions. However, the defined region
must be a square or right rectangle. T- and L-shaped regions
are invalid.

DC IN connector specications
• When inputting a trigger signal to the camera using the DC-
700/CE, use DC 5 V or less at the logical high level.
• Make sure to supply power to the camera module and confirm
that the camera module is operating before inputting a trigger
signal. If you input trigger signal to a camera module without
the power supplied, this may cause a malfunction of the
camera module.

Note
Trigger Modes
There are five modes, Free run, Bulk Trigger, Sequential Trigger,
Burst Trigger and Freeset squence.
Free Run
The camera operates without a trigger signal and performs the
video output operation continuously after the shutter (exposure) is
finished when operating in Free run mode.
• Trigger width detection (Polarity: positive)
Bulk Trigger
Different camera setting configurations are stored in memory
channels beforehand, with the different settings applied to acquire
multiple video images at each trigger event. In the following
diagram, two images are acquired in one cycle.
Sequential Trigger
Different camera setting configurations are stored in memory
channels beforehand, with the different settings applied in
sequence to acquire a different image with each trigger event. In
the following diagram, two images with different exposure settings
are acquired in one cycle.
• Trigger edge detection (Polarity: positive)

signal and when preventing false operations caused by noise
contamination to the trigger signal line (due to the installed
environment).
Trigger Inhibition
The camera can delay the trigger signal.
Trigger Delay
Only signals in the set trigger width can be accepted as the trigger
signal. This functions as a noise filter, which removes chattering or
disturbance noise in the trigger signal line. When the trigger signal
is input, exposure is started with the time lag of the trigger range
setting values. Image will not be output, when trigger signal width is
out of set range.
Trigger range operation example
ExposureTime=300, TriggerAcceptanceRangeLowerLimit=100 in
the figure.
Trigger Range Limit
Main set values can be saved to the channels 1 to 16 of USERSET.
User set is available during special trigger mode (Bulk Trigger/
Sequential Trigger).
Manual gain
The manual gain can be finely set in 0.1 dB units or bit levels.
Although the settable lower/upper limit values of the gain are
slightly different in each camera, the gain parameter value can be
set from –1 dB or less to 27 dB or more.
Auto gain (AGC)
By setting AUTOGAIN, the gain is automatically adjusted according
to the image pickup environment.
AGC works so that the average level in a detection frame may
reach AGC-LEVEL. The AGC detection frame is set to the central
region by default. The detection frame can be displayed or the
detection area changed.

Auto frame rate
The reading cycle is set to allow the frame rate to be the maximum
value automatically according to the current shutter setting and the
partial scan setting in the free-run operation (Shutter has priority ).
The next exposure is performed while outputting a video and the
next video output is started immediately after finishing all video
outputs. The frame rate is lowered when setting the shutter time
longer than the video output time.
Specifying frame rate
The frame rate of the video output can be specified in the free-run
operation. The value of the frame rate [fps] should be entered. The
frame rate faster than the fastest frame rate cannot be set.
Frame Rate Control
Look-Up Table (LUT)
The camera’s look-up table consists of 4,096 values, with 12-bit
input and output. The look-up table allows setting an arbitrary
gamma curve or binarization. Also, a gamma curve coefficient
can be specified for the standard black level. For levels below the
standard black level, set the gamma value to 1 to prevent burnt-out
highlights in the black level.

Memory shot is a function that controls the exposure timing and
image output to the network individually.
This is effective when multiple cameras are connected to the
same network and it is necessary to expose them at the same
time in a configuration that exceeds 1 Gbps band when operated
simultaneously.
Memory shot is available in multi-frame mode or single-frame
mode.
Number of images that can be saved is determined by image size
and pixel format.
Normally, images are sequentially output when exposure ends, but
the image output start timing can be delayed.
Optimal when requiring simultaneous exposure, but there are
several cameras connected to the same network and the
configuration makes the bandwidth exceed 1Gbps when operated
simultaneously.
Optimal when shooting 1 shot with single frame or trigger.

The white balance can be automatically adjusted when the
BalanceWhiteAuto command is executed. The detection area is
set to the screen center by default. The detection area can also be
displayed on the screen.
The detection frame can be changed arbitrarily (DetectAreaWBAuto).
For manual correction, the GainDigital should be changed.

The signal level which is input in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th* DC IN
connector can be detected. After selecting a connector by
LineSelector register, the signal level is acquired from LineStatus
regis t er.

Various signals can be output from the 3rd and 4th DC IN
connector. After selecting a connector by LineSelector register
and setting LineMode to Output, LineSource is set. The output
polarity is set by LineInverter register.
