9. Functions

By accessing the camera register published on the camera link I/F, you can control/set each function.
Since access to the camera register is performed via the frame grabber board, the controlling and setting methods
differ depending on the frame grabber board you use. For details, refer to the instruction manual of the relevant
frame grabber board or contact our sales representative.
This instruction manual describes the specifications in the case where the camera register is directly connected byserial transmission over the camera link interface.
9.1 Explanation of Each Function(1) Register setting value updating Address：0x6E, Bit：0, Value:1
The changed register setting value is reflected on the camera operation.
Only writing a value in each register does not cause the value to be reflected on the camera operation.
Register value updating must be executed before the changed setting value can be reflected on the camera
action.
To save the setting value in memory, the register setting value must be updated beforehand. Otherwise, an
execution error occurs and the setting value is unable to be saved in memory.
(2) Readout mode
Video is output from the camera link connector. The output video can be grabbed by the frame grabber board.
The frame rate and resolution of output images that this model supports are as follows:
1) All pixel readout: Approximately 30 fps / 1628(H) x 1236(V)2) Partial scan
: Approximately 30 to 183 fps / 1628(H) x 552(V) to 1236(V)3) High-speed draft readout : Approximately 89 fps / 1628(H) x 309(V)1) All pixel readout Address：0x70, Bit：0, Value:0 and Address：0x81, Bit：0, Value:0
Reads out all pixels in about 1/30 second.

2) Programmable partial scan Address：0x70, Bit：0, Value:0 and Address：0x81, Bit：0, Value:1
A range arbitrary from 50 lines to 1236 lines can be read. The frame rate can be raised to 183fps or less byskipping it at high speed excluding an effective area.
When the frame rate of a partial scanning exceeds it when the shutter mode is switched from normality(internal synchronization) to the partial scanning mode, more high-speed than the setting of the speed of
the shutter it is changed at the speed of the shutter matched to the frame rate.

Rev 1.5(6) Random trigger shutter Address：0x6A, Bit：0, Value:1
In the random trigger shutter mode, you can shoot and grab an image at an arbitrary timing by trigger signal input
from the external.
・External trigger signals can be input either from the camera link I/F CC1 or I/O connector.
・If polarity is set to negative polarity, exposure starts at the falling edge of the trigger. Address：0x6A, Bit：1
・The random trigger shutter of this camera can be operated in two types of mode: fixed mode and pulse
width mode. How to determine the exposure time differs depending on the mode.
1) Fixed mode Address：0x6B, Bit：0, Value:0
・The exposure time is determined by the setting value for the shutter speed.
・FVAL is output in sync with the first LVAL after the end of exposure time.

In the multiple-shutter mode, video is output in sync with a MULTI signal from the external after the end of
exposure time.
・Valid only when the random trigger shutter mode is ON.
・MULTI signals can be input from the camera link I/F CC2.
・If exposure is executed several times before MULTI signal input, the images are output superposed.
・The exposure time is determined by the random trigger shutter mode setting and its determination method.
・The pulse width must be set to negative polarity and 1H (approximately 26.7μs) to 10 ms.
・FVAL is output in sync with the first LVAL after the end of MULTI signal input.

Notes on multiple-shutter:
An image has been stored to CCD device until a MULTI signal is inputted and it begins to read out
image after CCD is exposed. Therefore, an image may degenerate step by step when an image is stored
to CCD device for a long time.
And, Electric charge is superimposed in CCD device when the multiplex exposure. Therefore, CCD willflood with electric charge when electric charge is over superimposed in CCD device. Consequently
vertical stripes noise will appear. At that time please stop using spotlight and dimmer for example close
the iris.

Rev 1.5(8) Restart reset mode Address：0x6A, Bit：4, Value:1
In the start reset mode, it takes a picture of the image according to arbitrary timing by the VD signal input fromthe outside, and it is possible to take it. A low-speed speed of the shutter can be easily set in this mode.
･External VD signal can be input from either camera link I/F CC1 or 11 I/O connector pins.
･The interval of external VD signal becomes the speed of the shutter (exposure time).
･Peculiar timing to internal makes horizontal, driving timing LVAL asynchronous from external VD signal.
･The image output is output to the input timing of external VD signal delaying 1.0H or less.

Rev 1.5(9) Setting value memory
Each setting value can be saved in the memory inside the camera.
・The contents of the memory is held even after the power supply is turned off.
・The memory consists of 4 banks. For each table, you can save/readout the setting value independently, as well
as reset the setting value to the initial factory setting.
・You can set the number of the memory bank to be read out when the power supply is turned on, by using therelevant dip switch on the back surface of the main body.
1) Memory save Address：0x51, Bit：0 to 1, Value：0 to 3
・When you write to the register the number of the memory bank to which the setting value is to be saved, thesetting value of each register is saved in the internal memory.
・If you have not executed "Update" after changing the setting value (reset address 0x6E to 0x01), an execution
error occurs and the setting value is not saved in the memory. Be sure to execute "Update" before saving thesetting value.
2) Memory readout Address：0x52, Bit：0 to 1, Value：0 to 3
・When you write to the register the number of the memory bank from which the setting value is to be read out,
the setting value is read out from the internal memory and set.
3) Memory reset Address：0x53, Bit：0 to 1, Value：0 to 3
・When you write to the register the number of the memory bank to be reset, the initial factory setting value isread out from the internal memory and set.
(10) Output bit Address：0x90, Bit：0 to 1, Value：0 to2
You can set gray scale per pixel. The initial factory setting is 12 bits.
