Trigger Delay
This function applies a trigger delay within the camera.
Use it to synchronize trigger timing when the trigger
signal is offset from the desired object exposure timing.
Setting range is 0 to 4,000,000 µs, in 1 µs units.
Note
To use trigger delay, the input trigger period must be
longer than the trigger delay value. Otherwise, images
cannot be output properly.
Multi-Function Outputs/
GPIs (general-purpose
inputs)
The multi-function output settings determine the
function of the camera’s output connector pins for GPO
(general-purpose signal output), exposure signal output
or strobe control signal output. These signal ports are
used to control external devices. GPI ports are also
provided for input signals.
The camera has two multi-function output ports and one
GPI port.
Exposure output
Signal output is valid during image sensor exposure.
You can also configure the polarity.
Strobe control outputs
Make precise adjustments to strobe control and control
for other external devices connected to the camera by
controlling the timing and width of signals. You can also
configure the polarity.
Setting ranges are:
Strobe delay: 0 to 4,000 µs (in 1 µs units)
Strobe width: 0 to 4,000 µs (in 1 µs units)
GPO
Outputs can be High or Low active.
Note
When using strobe control output, if the strobe delay or
strobe width exceeds the exposure interval, proper
strobe signals cannot be output. Set the strobe control
output so that the delay and width are within the
exposure time.
Gain
The camera provides both manual and automatic gain
control.
Manual gain control
Variable gain control in models XCG-V60E/
XCG-SX97E/XCG-U100E can be set from 0 to 18 dB in
0.0358 dB increments, or from 0 to 502 in 0.0358 dB
steps.
In addition to the above, the XCG-5005E provides
independent left and right controls (GainL and GainR).
When left and right gain should be the same, set only the
left level (GainL).
Auto gain control
The camera provides the auto gain control function to
automatically control image brightness according to a
user-specified detection frame and image average level
(variable from 0 to 16383 in 14 bit). The variable range
is the same as for manual gain control.
Also, the auto gain control detection frame showing
each area’s image average level can be displayed and
adjusted. The detection frame is defined by Offset X and
Y, Width and Height percentage values (relative to the
[100%] width and height of the output video image).
