Outline
The XC-ST Series cameras incorporate the latest CCD and
signal processing technologies into a compact black and
white camera module. A new external trigger design allows
the electronic shutter speed to be freely specied by the
width of an external trigger pulse or by a switch setting on
the rear panel of the camera. These cameras are also
user-friendly, with all switch settings located on the rear
panel. Moreover, the XC-ST Series have the exact same
dimensions, simplifying space requirements and making
it easy to interchange them if necessary. These features,
along with high picture quality and high shock and vibration
tolerance make the XC-ST Series cameras ideal for
demanding machine vision applications.

The Restart/Reset function extends the CCD accumulation time,
resulting in highly sensitive image capture. This function is effective
when you cannot gain satisfactory sensitivity under normal operating
conditions, or when you want to observe the trail of a moving object.
Extend the VD interval (T) between external VD pulses.

To Set Restart/Reset Mode
The information on one screen can be extracted
at any time by externally inputting Restart/
Reset signals (HD/VD). To enter this mode, set
the trigger shutter switches (6 to 8) on the rear
panel of the camera as shown in the gure
below.
The Reset/Restart mode is especially effective
for frame image output with long exposure or a
strobe light.
Restart/Reset
DIP switches
Inputting an external trigger pulse enables the camera to capture
fast-moving objects clearly with precise timing.
Set DIP switches 6, 7, and 8 on the rear panel to Mode 1 or Mode 2.
When you set the trigger pulse width to 1/3 of a second or more, the
output signal changes to the normal VIDEO signal.
There are two modes for the timing in which video signals are
obtained.
Mode 1 (Non-reset mode)•
In this mode, a video signal synchronized with a VD signal is
output after a trigger pulse is input.
– The video signal is synchronized with the external VD signal
when an external HD/VD signal is input.
– The video signal is synchronized with an internal VD signal when
no external HD/VD signal is input.
Mode 2 (Reset mode)•
In this mode, an internal VD is reset, then a video signal is output
a certain period of time after trigger pulse input.
External Trigger Shutter
To Set the External Trigger Shutter
There are two ways to set the shutter speed.
Using the DIP switches on the rear panel•
For shutter speeds, see the following table.
The DIP switch 5 position is optional. (The eld setting is
recommended.) The eld setting can obtain a sensitivity that is
twice that of the frame setting.

recomended.) The eld setting can obtain a sensitivity that is
twice that of the frame setting.
If you input another trigger pulse before the video signal output•
for the previous trigger pulse is completely output, an incorrect
video signal will be output.
Using trigger pulse width•
Set all DIP switches (1 to 4 on the rear panel) to 0.
You can obtain an arbitrary shutter speed by setting the trigger
pulse width within the range of 2
