Setting functions
7.2.1.
Bit allocation. BA=0, BA=1
This command sets the output for either 8-bit or 10-bit.
7.2.2.
Partial scan. SC=0 through 4.
The CCD scanning format can be selected between full or partial scanning. With partial scanning
only the vertical central part of the CCD sensor is read out with a higher frame rate. The partial
scan is done by a fast dump read out of the lines in the vertical CCD register down to the top of
the partial image. This central part of the image is read out with normal speed. The lines below
the partial image are read out and dumped with a high speed.
Note: The color sequence for CB-140 MCL/PMCL differs in partial scan modes. Refer to chapter
6.1.2.
7.2.3.
Vertical binning. VB=0, VB=1
This function is only for CM-140MCL/PMCL camera.
The CM-140MCL/PMCL has only vertical binning mode. With V binning the pixel charge from 2
adjacent lines are added together in the horizontal CCD register. It is done by double pulses to the
vertical CCD register.
Note: Vertical Binning can not be used together with the Partial scanning.
7.2.4.
Shutter mode. SM=0 and SM=1
With SM=0 this function selects the shutter from the 9 fixed steps (SH=0 through SH=9SH).
With SM=1 from programmable in 1051 steps (PE=2 through PE=1052).
7.2.5.
Trigger input select. TI=0, TI=1.
This function selects the trigger input to be through Camera Link (TI=0), or as TTL through the 12
pin Hirose connector (TI=1).
7.2.6.
Trigger polarity. TP=0, TP=1.
The active trigger polarity is normal low (TP=0). It can be invert it to active high (TP=1).
7.2.7.
Gain level. GA=-84 t336.
GA=0 is 0dB gain, which is normal working point. The range is from -3 dB to +12 dB.
7.2.8.
Black level. BL=0 through BL=1023.
Black level (or set-up level) will set the video level for black. Factory setting is 32 LSB for 10bit
or 8 LSB for 8bit.
7.3.
Save and Load Functions.
The following commands are for store and load camera settings in the camera EEPROM.
Load settings.
LD.
This command will load previous stored settings to the camera. 3 user settings can be stored in
the camera EEPROM. 1 factory setting is also stored in the camera. The settings stored in the last
used user area is used as default settings at power up.
