Sequential trigger mode
Different camera setting configurations are stored in
memory channels beforehand, with the different settings
applied in sequence to acquire a different image with
each trigger event. In the following diagram, two images
with different exposure settings are acquired in one
cycle.
The camera provides 16 memory channels, so up to 16
setting configurations can be assigned to each cycle.
For bulk and sequential trigger modes, the following
functions are read from each memory channel.
Image parameters
• Image size (H) offset X
• Image size (V) offset Y
Feature parameters
• Manual Gain (Gain L/R with XCG-5005E)
• Digital Clamp L/R (XCG-5005E only)
• Digital ON/OFF (XCG-5005E only)
• Digital Pedestal
• Digital Gain
• Shutter
• Look-Up Table
• Binarization Threshold
• Multi-Function Output Mode
• Strobe Polarity
• Strobe Delay
• Strobe Pulse Width
• GPO
• User Memory
Notes
• When using Bulk or Sequential trigger mode, be sure
to allow sufficient trigger cycle time. Images are
disrupted if the trigger period is shorter than the time
required to output a frame.
• With the XCG-5005E, using Bulk or Sequential
trigger mode with different gain values in different
memory channels may result in different left and right
video levels. In such cases, verify operation before
use.
• When using Bulk or Sequential trigger mode, bear in
mind that the following settings are ignored and have
no effect.
Image Parameters
• Image Size (H)
• Image Size (V)
• Pixel Format
• Binning
• Test Chart
• Auto Gain Detection Frame ON/OFF
• Auto Gain Detection Frame Area Setting
• Manual Frame Rate
• Auto Frame Rate
• Gamma Curve Coefficient
• Gamma Curve Reference Level
Feature Parameters
• Auto Clamp ON/OFF (XCG-5005E only)
• Auto Gain ON/OFF
• Trigger ON/OFF (ON = fixed trigger drive)
• Trigger Mode (fixed edge)
• Trigger Polarity
• Trigger Inhibit
• Trigger Delay
• Software Trigger Pulse Output
• Trigger Source Select
When using the Bulk or Sequential special trigger
mode, you must select the trigger type (hardware or
software trigger) with the Special Trigger Source
Select parameter, and select the polarity with the
Special Trigger Polarity parameter.
Shutter
The camera supports manual shutter control.
With Edge triggering, the exposure time can be set from
10 µs to 2 s, in 1 µs units.
Trigger Inhibit
This function disables the camera’s trigger input.
When multiple cameras are connected, use this to
disable triggering for only specified cameras at specific
times.
