1. Features
● Progressive scan camera incorporated with 1.45 megapixel, 2/3”-size CCD image sensor.
● 10bit (2 tap) Video signal is output in progressive scanning (non-interlaced scanning) format, complying with Camera
Link (Base configuration).
● A full frame shutter image can be obtained at a rate of 30 frames per second.
● The smear in high speed shutter mode has been reduced and sensitivity in near-UV light range has been increased
compared to our existing cameras, as newly-designed interline transfer CCD is adopted.
● When the external trigger signal is input, the image is reset in random timing (Asynchronous timing) and the electronic
shutter image can be obtained at any given point in time. (Asynchronous shutter mode)
● Possible to transmit the external trigger signal and the serial communication command via CameraLink interface.
● Small and lightweight (same size as FC1500F).

4. How to Operate
(4-1) Connection method
●Connection
Refer to the connection example between the camera and peripheral devices (Fig. 4-1).
(1) Remove the cover of the lens attachment section
and attach a lens (option).
(2) Connect the camera to a power supply unit
(option) with a camera cable (option).
The maximum allowable length of a camera cable
is 15 m.
(3) Set the camera operation modes in accordance
with the setting instructions for the operation
modes and the shutter speed that are described
in another section.
(4) Connect the Camera Link connectors on the rear
panel of the camera to that of the image
processing units (frame grabber board etc.) with
the dedicated Camera Link cable (option).
[Important]
(Note) Make sure to turn off the power switch of the camera before connecting or disconnecting the camera cable.
If the cable is connected or disconnected while the power is supplied, troubles may be caused.
(Note) Make sure to turn off the camera and connected devices in advance when the camera is connected.
(Note) When a power supply unit other than Takenaka’s product that are separately sold is used, make sure that it
complies with the following rated specifications:
Power supply voltage: DC12V±10%
Current capacity: 450mA or over
Take into consideration the fact that inrush current of about 1A flows in when power is applied.
Ripple voltage: 50mVp-p or less (recommended value)
Connector: 12 pin connector 1 pin (GND), 2 pins (+12VDC)
(Note) Some power supply units other than TAKENAKA’s products have different layout of power connection pins.
Make sure to check the compatibility of the power supply unit and the camera connection pins in advance.
Carefully note that any failure associated with power application to out-of-specification pins and others is subject to
charged repair.
(4-2) Input of Vinit signal (asynchronous trigger signal)
●How to input Vinit signal
If the camera is used in the asynchronous shutter mode, the Vinit signal (asynchronous trigger signal) must be input
from the user side unit.
The Vinit signal is input from Pin (6) of the “POWER” connector (12 pin connector) on the rear of the camera, or is
input as the CC1 signal from the “Camera Link” connector.
If the camera is connected to the power supply unit, PU100, with a cable of Takenaka’s 12W series, connect the Vinit
signal (asynchronous trigger signal) to the trigger input terminal of the power supply unit (PU100).
(Note) OR operation (negative OR) is implemented inside the camera between Vinit1 input signal from Pin (6) of “POWER”
connector and Vinit2 input signal as CC1 signal of “Camera Link” connector (see the figure below).
(Note) If either one of those are fixed to the L level (active state),
the Vinit signal (logical sum) is also fixed to the L level and
the trailing edge signal cannot be obtained. This would
result in failure in starting up the asynchronous shutter
operation. Make sure to fix the input signal on the unused
side to the H level, to keep it at high impedance level or
open state (no connection).

●Recommended timing of asynchronous shutter trigger signal (Vinit signal) for preset shutter/pulse width control
For the case of the pulse width control exposure mode,
numeric
value of the L level interval of the input Vinit pulse (sh
own as
Tvinit in the figure) is retrieved
in synchronization with the HD
trailing
edge inside the camera, and the integer multiple number
of H (1 horizontal synchronous interval
) that is closest to the
retrieved Vinit pulse duration
is transmitted as nH to the inside of
the camera. Then the shutter speed
is determined in response
to the time nH.
Vinit
Tvinit
[For the case of preset shutter mode]
2H ≤Tvinit ≤20H
(The shutter speed is independent of the Vinit width.)
[For the case of pulse width control mode(shutter SW=9)]
nH ≤Tvinit <(n+1)H (n is 1 or larger integer.)
(This is the pulse width where shutter exposure time =nH)
Fig. 4-3 Recommended Vinit signal timing waveform
(Note) In the pulse width control, the shutter exposure time is almost equal to the integral multiple number of the horizontal
synchronous time (H) that is closest to the Vinit pulse duration. More specifically, however, the shutter exposure time is
indefinite for the time period corresponding to 1H width in the case of normal external trigger input (or the case where the
Vinit signal is not in synchronization with the horizontal synchronous timing of the camera) →Refer to the timing chart
described in another section for the details.
(Note) When the shutter exposure time is too long in the pulse width control mode, the S/N ratio of the image will be degraded due
to the reduction of dynamic range of CCD, accumulation of thermal noise components of CCD imaging device in proportion
to the shutter speed and other factors. Therefore, if a long exposure time is employed, it is recommended to conduct
experiments using realistic exposure times in actual conditions to check for the appropriateness.

(4-3) Input of external synchronous trigger signal(Ext-HD/VD)
●How to input external synchronous trigger signal
When more than one cameras are used in synchronization state, it is necessary to input external synchronous signal
(Ext-HD/VD signal) from user side equipment. When it is needed to synchronize horizontal timing, input HD signal.
Input HD and VD signals to synchronize both horizontal and vertical timings.
(Note) Note that the delay jitter may occur between externally supplied HD signal and HD signal within the camera, when
horizontal operation timing is synchronized by external synchronous signal,

●Scanning system ···· Normal scan/partial scan
→Refer to the following page (Section 6) for
the specific setting method.
Table 5-1. Description of electronic shutter operation modes
Shutter
mode
No shutter Electronic shutter is not used. Exposure time of imaging device is equivalent to one frame time.
Exposure is continuously performed for each frame.
Continuous shutter Repeats exposure regardless of external trigger input (Vinit).
Repetition pitch is per frame.
Asynchronous shutter Electronic shutter is released each time the external trigger is input (Vinit).
The permissible shortest repetition pitch is [exposure time + 1 frame time].
Type
of
shutter
speed
Normal shutter
(High speed shutter)
Shutter, the exposure time of which is less than one frame time, is used.
The shutter speed can be set as a preset shutter speed at 9 different levels for the continuous
shutter and 8 levels for asynchronous shutter mode.
Low speed shutter
The shutter, the exposure time of which is two frames or over, is used.
(Both for continuous and asynchronous shutter mode)
The shutter speed can be set as a preset shutter speed at 9 different levels for the continuous
shutter and 8 levels for asynchronous shutter mode.
Pulse width control
In case of the asynchronous shutter setting only, the shutter of which the exposure time
corresponds to the pulse width (during an effective level) of the external trigger input (Vinit) ,
is released.
Shutter speed can be set as nH (n = 1 or larger integer number) in H (horizontal synchronous
time) unit.
Table 5-2 Description of other operation modes
Scanning
system
Normal scan The read out for each frame is conducted by the all pixel readout scanning(30Hz)
Partial scan The read out for each frame is conducted by the partial readout scanning(60Hz) The vertical width of the longitudinal picture area corresponds to one half of the central portion of
the image pickup area.
[Terminology] Preset shutter············This refers to the shutter speed setting other than those specified by the pulse width
control. More specifically, the shutter speed is preliminarily set by the shutter switch
positions from “1” to “9” for the continuous shutter operation or from “1” to “8” for the
asynchronous shutter operation. The shutter speed is defined in the Table 6-1.
[Terminology] Pulse width control·····This is the way of setting or controlling the shutter speed by the width of the Vinit
signal that is externally input in the asynchronous shutter mode. It is set when the
shutter switch position is “9” in the asynchronous shutter mode.
[Terminology] High speed shutter·····This means the shutter of which shutter speed is shorter than 1 frame time(=1
vertical synchronous time). The shutter speed is set as a preset fixed length of the 9
(for the continuous shutter) or 8(for the asynchronous shutter) different levels that
are determined by the position of the shutter switch.
[Terminology] Low speed shutter······This means the shutter of which shutter speed is longer than 1 frame time. The
shutter speed is set as a preset fixed length of the 9 (for the continuous shutter) or
8(for the asynchronous shutter) different levels that are determined by the position
of the shutter switch.
(5-2) Setting of shutter speed
The shutter speed is determined mainly by the shutter switch position from “0” to “9”.
When a shutter speed is specified using a communication command, the communication command is prioritized.
→Refer to the next section (Section 6) for the specific setting method.
(!) Since FC1500F is equipped with the independent shutter setting switch and mode setting switch, it does not require
the setting manipulation for the current shutter speed.

Fig. 5-2 Conceptual diagram of gain and offset levels
(5-3) Level setting
The level setting is mostly divided into the
following two groups:
●Gain setting
This is to set the gain (amplification ratio)
of the preamplifier between the CCD
imaging device inside the camera to A/D
converter.
●Offset setting
This is to set the offset of the preamplifier
between the CCD imaging device inside the
camera to A/D converter.
→Refer to the next section (Section 6) for
the specific setting method.
(Note) As for the offset setting, it is
recommended to use the factory
default setting except for a special
case.
(5-4) Program page setting
The FC series cameras incorporate nonvolatile memories
and various operation mode settings and level settings can
be stored in them.
The setting items are stored in the virtual pages (hereinafter
referred to as “program pages”) inside the camera.
This camera has 6 program pages of “A”, “B”, “C”, “D”, “E”
and “F” (right figure).
The camera starts operating according to the various
settings stored in the relevant page when the mode switch is
at any one of the positions from “A” to “F” at the time of
power-on.
The camera starts operating according to the settings stored
in the page “A” when the mode switch is at any position other
than those from “A” to “F” at the time of power-on.

(Note) (H) and (V) in the table represent the horizontal time unit and the vertical time (frame time) unit respectively.
(Note) ”No shutter” in the table means the continuous shutter mode with exposure time = 1 frame time.
(Note) This table is always usable regardless of operation mode Group. However, when it is changed with the
communication command, the communication command is placed before all else.
(6-2) How to set operation mode
The setting items of the operation modes are divided into 2 groups of Group 1 and Group 2 as follows:
Group 1 ・・ ········· This is for the operation mode to be changed when turning on the power in the normal manner. After
start-up, set the mode switch to the position corresponding to the item to be changed and then manipulate
UP/DOWN switch to change the setting.
Group 2··············This is for the operation mode to be changed when setting the mode switch to the position “A”, pushing up
(or pushing down) the UP/DOWN switch lever and holding it in the position before turning on the power. After
starting up as above, change the position of the mode switch from said position “A” to the position
corresponding to the item to be changed and then manipulate UP/DOWN switch to change the setting.
(Note) When any setting item is changed, it must be saved in one of the program pages from “A” to “F” before turning off the
power to store the data in the memory of the camera. Carefully note that the new setting is not automatically saved
and that the prior setting will be effective at the next time of power-on if the power is turned off before storing it.

(6-3) Setting of program page
The setting operations for the program pages are roughly divided into 2 groups: save (writing the current setting into the
program page) and load (reading out the setting that was previously saved in the program page as the current setting).
More specifically, “save” means overwriting the new setting that was changed from the current one onto one of the
program pages after turning on the power while “load” means the opposite operation that is reading out the setting saved
one of the program pages as the current setting.
The camera operates
on information of
the
current setting in RAM.

Fig. 6-1 Conceptual diagram of saving and loading operations
[Explanation] Correlation between current setting and program page
The setting information saved in the program page is automatically read out to RAM (volatile memory) when the
camera is turned on, and that determines the operation of the camera as the current setting.
When the setting of a mode is changed, the older one is overwritten, and the new setting is temporarily effective as
the operation setting for the camera until the power is turned off. The new setting in the program page on RAM,
however, is lost when the power is turned off, and the old setting before power-on will be effective for the operation of
the camera.
Accordingly, it is absolutely necessary to write the new setting in one of the program pages from “A” to “F” to save it.
The setting saved in the program page can be read out for use by the loading operation (including automatic load at
power-on) as described later.
●Automatic load at power-on
When the power is turned on, the camera automatically loads the
settings stored in one of the program page from “A” to “F”, which
determines the operation of the camera.
The program page of which setting is automatically loaded is
determined by the position of the mode switch at the time of
power-on.
(Note) Note that the setting of the program page “A” is automatically
loaded when the switch is at any position other than “B” to “F”.
●Manual load/save
Manual load/save of the setting from/to the program page can be enabled when setting the mode switch to one of the
positions from “A” to “F” and manipulate the UP/DOWN switch after the power is turned on.
(Note) This saving operation must be performed to keep the new setting effective for later use after changing it.

(6-4) Typical setting procedure (Example 1) This is the procedure for setting the gain for the
asynchronous shutter operation (1/250 sec.).
[Explanation]
The left example of the setting procedure is for using the
camera in the asynchronous shutter operation. In the left
example, the operation mode is temporarily set to be the
continuous shutter operation because this makes it easier to
set the gain and others. In the case where the image output
state can be easily checked by way of repeatedly inputting
external trigger signal (Vinit) from a user device, the
operation mode should be set to be “Asynchronous Shutter”
from the beginning before setting the gain and others.
(Note) When the pulse width control mode is set for the
asynchronous shutter operation, the above described
method in which the continuous shutter mode is
temporarily set cannot be used (because the shutter
speed at the position “9” for the asynchronous shutter
mode is different from that for the continuous shutter
mode). If the camera is used in the pulse width
control mode, it is necessary to set the asynchronous
shutter operation and then set the gain and others
while actually inputting the trigger signal (Vinit) from a
user device.
(6-5) Read out of factory default
Setting items to be read out to RAM
Current settings
[Electronic shutter operation mode]
• Shutter mode = Continuous/Asynchronous
• Type of shutter speed = High speed/Low speed
[Other operation modes]
• Scanning system = Normal scan/Partial scan
[Shutter speed setting]
• Shutter setting = Shutter SW
• Shutter SW data = (Factory default)
[Level setting]
• Gain setting value = (Saved as the internal value)
• Offset setting value = (Saved as the internal value)
[Others]
• RS-232C baud rate = Initial value(9600bps)
This procedure is for reading out the factory default (initial setting
before shipment) in order to initialize the setting that was changed
by the user after purchase.
(Note) The “storage page for factory default” that is located
separately from the memory for automatic loading at the time
of power-on (program pages from “A” to “F”) is loaded and
the camera is started up. In this case, the data is temporarily
read out to the internal RAM of the camera. If it is necessary
to use the camera with the factory default values after the
power is turned off, those must be saved in the program
pages from “A” to “F”.
Also,RS-232C baud rate setting is reset as the EEPROM is
initialized at the time of this procedure. This is automatically
saved without saving procedure.
<Step 1> Set the mode switch to the position “9”, and
manipulate the UP/DOWN switch either upward or
downward. Then, turn on the power and keep the
position of the UP/DOWN switch for several seconds.
<Step 2> Return the UP/DOWN switch to the neutral position.
The camera automatically restarts and the operation
mode is set to be Group 1.

7. Serial Communication
The asynchronous serial communication interface (UART: Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter) and the serial
communication connecting terminal (SerTFG and SerTC) for Camera Link connector are equipped in this camera as standard.
The internal parameter can be controlled through Camera Link cable and capture board from the external computer like
conventional products with RS-232C interface (FC1500F etc.) using serial communication command, if customer’s capture
board is equipped with serial communication connector (SerTFG and SerTC) and its driving software. Command’s argument
and it’s timing is the same as the conventional RS-232C interface product.
(Note) When the operation modes of the camera are changed by the communication functions, it takes some time to switch the
modes. Carefully note that normal image may not be obtained from the signal for each one frame before and after
transmitting a command.
●The setting of the serial communication is as follows:
Baud rate : 9600bps
Data : 8bit/character
Stop bit : 1stop bit
Parity : none
XON/XOFF : no control
●Serial communication commands
The command packet starts with STX(02h), followed by command code(s) and command option parameter(s) and ends with
ETX(03h). All those are of 8 bitASCII codes.
When the camera receives 1 packet (by detecting ETX:03h) and judges it is a normal packet, it returns a transaction
completion signal (ACK: 06h) or others corresponding to the commands received. When the camera judges it is an abnormal
packet, it returns the abnormal signal (NAK: 15h).
●Description of commands
(1) Command “e”
Function: Initialization of page memory
Transmission from host: STX: “e”: ETX
Return by camera: STX: ACK: ETX (transaction completion), or STX: NAK: ETX (transaction rejection)
* CPU initializes each of the page memories.(to factory default values) When it is needed to initialize with each page,
read out the H page by command “L” and write it in the intended page by the command “W”. The setting of RS-232C
baud rate is not initialized.
(2) Command “R”
Function: Command for reporting camera operation and setting status
The contents of the report can be selected by adding the following option code after the command code “R”.

4 characters are returned as the electronic shutter exposure time.
●In the case where the electronic shutter exposure time is externally set:
When the exposure time is set in the unit of H (horizontal scan time), the exposure setting count value of the
time in H is returned.
Example) If the shutter exposure time is 16H(1/2000): “0010”
●In the case where the electronic shutter exposure time is set using the shutter switch number on the connector
panel:
Example) If the shutter switch is set to “4”: “I4..”
●In the case where the electronic shutter exposure time is set by the shutter switch number via a RS-232C
command:
Example) If “3” is specified for the shutter switch, : “S3..”
(3) Command “G”
Function: Command for setting gain
Transmission from host: STX: “G”: MGC setting value: AGC setting value: (VRT setting value): (VRB setting value):
OFFSET setting value):(auxiliary setting):(auxiliary setting): ETX
Return by camera: STX:ACK: ETX (transaction completion) or STX: NAK: ETX (transaction rejection)
(!) This camera does not use the values in parentheses.
“ . ” must be transmitted to the camera. The same for “auxiliary setting”.
2 digit ASCII codes in the hexadecimal system are used for the data setting values of MGC,AGC and OFFSET.
Example) If level 128 (decimal) is set: “80”
If level 200 (decimal) is set: “C8”
The setting value that does not require a change should be represented by “.” (a full stop) so that the setting value before
the command transmission is retained.
Example) if only MGC is changed to Level 90 (decimal):
STX: “G”: “5A”: “.”: “.”: “.”: “.”: ETX
(4) Command “S”
Function: Command for setting shutter mode and shutter exposure time
Transmission from host: STX: “S”: “A” or “M”: “H” or “L”: “N” or “F”: exposure time: ETX
Return by camera: STX:ACK: ETX (transaction completion), or STX: NAK: ETX (transaction rejection)
The transmitting command has the following meanings:
STX: “S”: “A” or “M”: “H” or “L”: “N” or “F”: Exposure time: ETX
*1 *2 *3 *4
*1 A: Asynchronous shuttr
M: Continuous shutter
*2 H: High speed shutter
L: Low speed shutter
*3 N: Normal scan
F: Partial scan
*4: Exposure time
4 characters are returned as the electronic shutter exposure time.
●In the case where the electronic shutter exposure time is externally set:
When the exposure time is set in the unit of H (horizontal scan time), the exposure setting count value of the time in H is
set.
Example) If the shutter exposure time is 16H(1/2000):
STX: “S”: “.”: “.”: “.”: “0010”: ETX
●In the case where the exposure time is set using the shutter SW number on the connector panel:
Example) If the shutter SW is set to “4”:
STX: “S”: “.”: “.”: “.”: “S4..”: ETX
●In the case where the exposure time is set to 3H in the asynchronous/high speed shutter mode:
STX: “S”: “A”: “H”: “.”: “0003”: ETX
●In the case where the control is returned to the one using the rear panel of the camera:
STX: “S”: “.”: “.”: “.”: “0000”: ETX
(Note) When the exposure time is externally set with the command “S”, the exposure time of the camera will finally be
locked to the position specified by the command. This locked state is released when the exposure time is set to
“0000” by RS-232C again as described above.

(5) Command “A”
Function: Command for setting analog image signal
Transmission from host: STX: “A”: (SETUP setting value): (WC setting value): “.”: ETX
Return by camera: STX:ACK: ETX (transaction completion), or STX: NAK: ETX (transaction rejection)
2 digit ASCII codes in the hexadecimal system are used for the data setting values of SETUP and WC.
Example) If level 128 (decimal) is set: “80”
If level 200 (decimal) is set: “C8”
The setting value that does not require a change should be represented by “.” (a full stop) so that the setting value before
the command transmission is retained.
(6) Command “E”
Function: Command for editing shutter menu
Transmission from host: STX: “E”: “H”: SW0: SW1: SW2: SW3: SW4: SW5: SW6: SW7: SW8: SW9: ETX
Return by camera: STX:ACK: ETX (transaction completion), or STX: NAK: ETX (transaction rejection)
* The exposure time (H) to be allocated to the shutter SW number is expressed in 4 digits in the hexadecimal system for
SW0 to SW9.
* The exposure time of SW0 cannot be changed.
Example) If only the exposure time of SW5 for the high speed shutter operation is changed to 88 (decimal):
STX: “E”: “H”: “.”: “.”: “.”: “.”: “.”
: “0058”: “.”: “.”: “.”: “.”: ETX
(7) Command “W”
Function: Command for saving operation mode (Write into page memory)
Transmission from host: STX: “W”: memory page (“A” to “F”): ETX
Return by camera: STX:ACK: ETX (transaction completion), or STX: NAK: ETX (transaction rejection)
The current setting is written and saved in the EEPROM of the specified page number. Registered data are retained even
at power-off unless they are overwritten or initialized.
(8) Command “L”
Function: Command for reading out operation mode (Load)
Transmission from host: STX: “L”: reading page (“A” to “H”): ETX
Return by camera : STX: ACK: ETX (transaction completion), or STX: NAK: ETX (transaction rejection)
* The factory default is stored in the Page H, which will be used when resetting to the default setting.
[Important]
(Note) Sometimes, indefinite signal (data packet) is output through serial interface of camera when turning on/off the
camera, while connecting to the running host computer. Be sure to include the steps of clearing the receive buffer
of host computer in advance or neglecting more than one byte of receiving data after having sent a dummy
command to the camera, when the host computer receives the data packet from the camera which was activated
after the activation of the host computer.
Also, it is recommended to implement the above procedure at the initializing stage of the software for the
unexpected power-on sequence(e.g. the camera is activated after host computer)

(Note) The above timing represents the signal timing before being encoded to serial data by the channel link device on the
side of the sending end (the part circled in the above right figure). If signal conversion from serial to parallel is made by
a channel link device in accordance with the Camera Link standard on the side of the receiving end, the phase
relationship between the clock and the data after decoding will be different from that of the above timing due to the
structural nature of a channel link device. (In the case of the output from a channel link device, the data are aligned
with the trailing edge of the clock signal.) As a general rule, this variation in timing is correctly adjusted at the capture
timing of a capture board, the equal definition file to that of the conventional parallel output type can be used for
capturing.
(!) 10 bit x 2 tap output is employed for FC1500FCL. Therefore, there is no compatibility with the conventional parallel type
camera FC1500F . and so dedicated setting files are required.
(!) Each timing signal output for “BUSY” which is included as standard for FC1500F is omitted for FC1500FCL.
(Note) When a channel link device is mounted directly to the capture interface on the user side, instead of using a
commercially available capture board that supports Camera Link, it is necessary to pay close attention to the
descriptions of the data sheet of the channel link device including the phase relationship between data and clock prior to
the use.

* m is an integer value larger than one.
* The timing post- FDV(VSYNC) signal is the same as that of preset shutter
(Note) Strictly speaking, even if the same pulse width of Vinit is applied, the shutter speed differs for the period
corresponding to 1H width when the asynchronous shutter operation is executed in the pulse width control mode
(indefinite for 1H width).
Although an equal pulse width (value between 2Hs and 3Hs) is applied both for (A) and (B) in the figure below, the
phase relationship with the internal horizontal synchronous timing makes their shutter speeds different from each
other: (A) shutter speed = 2Hs and (B) shutter speed = 3Hs.

Because of the above reason, consideration must be given to the fact that the exposure time becomes indefinite for the
period of 1H shutter speed when a Vinit signal that is not in synchronization with the internal horizontal synchronous
signal (HD) is input from the user side. Some of the countermeasures to be taken are as follows:
(1) Use only with the shutter speed that do not have serious impact even if the shutter speed is indefinite for a period of
1H.
••• No practical problem may be caused when the shutter speed is fairly long, say 100H width or longer because the
impact of 1H difference in exposure time over the signal level is relatively small.
(2) Synchronize the external trigger signal with the use of the LDV signal of the camera to keep the Vinit phase
relationship constant.
••• Control can be made in the absence of the infinite time of 1H by stabilizing the generation phase of Vinit against the
internal HD.
(Note) Since m does not have an upper limit, the exposure time can be prolonged to be more than one frame time. The
maximum exposure time to be employed, however, should be determined after implementing experiments based on
the conditions of the actual operation because a longer exposure time is accompanied by the degradation of S/N ratio
due to the accumulation of CCD thermal noises.
