4 Camera Operation Overview
The camera operation is a 2 stage process that consists of exposure and data
output transfer. This process operates the same regardless of mode. The only
differences are the events that initiate exposure and data output transfer.
The LC3000 series cameras offer 4 exposure modes for maximum flexibility to
capture image data in a variety of applications.
4.1 Camera Exposure Modes
The following exposure modes are provided:
· Master Mode
· Slave Mode
· Slave Mode (Alt 1)
· Slave Mode (Alt 2)
The camera modes are selected by DIP switches accessible on the back of the
camera. For a definition of mode selecting switch positions see section
6.4.1
on
page 18.
Note:
If the mode is changed while the camera is operating, the camera must be
powered down and restarted for the mode change to take effect.
