The Nano common specifications listed first are followed by model specific tables of functional
features and timing details.
Common Specifications
Camera Controls
Synchronization Modes Free running, External triggered, Software trigger through Ethernet, Precision Time
Protocol (PTP)
Exposure Control Internal – Programmable via the camera API
External (Global Shutter models) – based on Trigger Width
Exposure Time Maximum 16 sec (Global Shutter models)
0.5 sec (Rolling Shutter model – C4900)
Exposure Modes Programmable in increments of 1µs
minimum (in µs) is model specific
Pulse controlled via Trigger pulse width (Global Shutter models).
Trigger Inputs Opto-isolated, 2.4V to 24V typical, 16mA min.
Debounce range from 0 up to 255 µs
Trigger Delay from 0 to 2,000,000 µs
Strobe Outputs Output opto-isolated:
Aligned to the start of exposure with a programmable delay, duration and polarity
(using “start of exposure on output line source” feature)

Counter and Timer 1 Counter, and 1 Timer. User programmable, acquisition independent, with event
generation, and can control Output I/O pins
Timestamp Timer to Timestamp images and events (1μs tics using Internal Clock, 8 nanosecond
tics when using IEEE1588 ( PTP: Precise time Protocol)
Metadata Metadata Output at the end of the Images (also known as GenICam Chunk Data)
Cycling Mode Automatic cycling between 64 camera setups
