CV-M2 - 14 - 6.2.7. LVAL synchronous accu mulation With LS=0, the accumulation will start synchron ously with LVAL. The trigger pulse should be longer than 2 LVAL intervals, and the accumulat i on will then start at the first LVAL after the trigger leading edge. The exposure start delay will be up to 1 line. (Single channel 4 7.9 µ sec. Dual 27.3 [...]

CV-M2 - 15 - 6.2.8. LVAL a-synchr onous accumulation With LS=1, the accumulation will start i mmediately after the trigger leading edge. The exposure start delay will be 156 clk. pulses after the trigger. It is 3.9 µ sec. In EPS mode the exposure stops 0.5 L after the selected shutter time, (in number of LVAL). In PWC mode the exposure stops 0.5 L[...]

CV-M2 - 16 - 6.2.9. Partial scanning vertical timing Partial scanning has 3 pre-selected vertical centred areas 1/2, 1/4 and 1/8. SC=1 t hrough SC=3. With SC=3, the start and the height of the partial scanned area can be programmed with 1 lin e interval. The start line can be programmed wit h PS=1 through 1151. The scanned height can b e programmed[...]

CV-M2 - 17 - 6.3. Input/Output of Timing Signals 6.3.1. Input of Timing Signals It is not possible to synchronize the camera from an external sync source except by an extern trigger pulse. The camera will al ways run with its internal X-tal controlled timing. Trigger input through Camera Link. TI=0 Trigger input as TTL on pin #10 on 1 2 pin Hirose.[...]

CV-M2 - 18 - 6.4.1. Continuous Operation (Non triggered) Mode settings can be done with RS-232C. Trigger Mo de Normal. TR=0. It is for applications where the camera is continuously running without external trigger. The shutt er mode can be normal or programmable exposure. (SM=0, SM=1). The shu tter will work in all 10 steps up t o 1/14,000 second o[...]

CV-M2 - 19 - 6.4.2. Edge Pr e-select Mode In EPS mode, the trigger leading edge will start an exposure at the first LVAL pulse if LS=0, (or immediately if LS=1), and it stops and the resulting image is read out after the pre-selected shutter time. It can be the 10 steps in normal or 1216 steps in programmable. SM =0 or SM=1. This mode will operate [...]

CV-M2 - 20 - 6.4.3. Restart Continuous Trigger mode The RCT mode is in principle the same as n ormal continuous mode. The difference is that an external trigger pulse will immediately stop t he video read out and reset and rest art the vertical timing. After a fast dump read out, a new triggered exposure is sta rted and read out as normal. The fast[...]

CV-M2 - 21 - 6.4.4. Pulse Width Co ntrol Mode In PWC mode, the trigger leading edge will start an exposure at the first LVAL pulse if LS=0 (or immediately if LS=1). It stops at the trailing edge of the trigger pulse, and the resulting video is read out. This mode will operate with full and partial sc anning. An EEN pulse will indicate the active ac[...]

CV-M2 - 22 - 6.4.5. Burst Trigger mode With the burst trigger function, a single trigger pulse can st art a sequence with five previous set pre-selected programmable exposures. The five shutter times can be set with BS H1 through BSH5. (Exposure 1H through 1216H.) The exposure is LVAL synchronous. The sequence will start with the first exposure at [...]

CV-M2 - 23 - 6.4.6. PIV mode. PIV mode (Particle Image Velocimetry) can be used in applications where 2 images should be taken with a very short time interv al. It can only be used with strobe flash as illu mination. The first accumulation time is fixed at 4 µ sec. After a delay >1 .5 µ sec. the second exposure pe riod starts. It is as long as[...]

CV-M2 - 24 - 6.4.7. Sensor Gate Con trol This function is for applications with strobe flas h illuminations or long time accumulations up to several frames.
