g LAN cable System Components This cable connects to the RJ45 connector on the rear panel of the camera module. Image/control signals are transmitted via this cable. Use a LAN cable (CAT5e or higher standard) that supports 1000BASE-T (or allows 100BASE-TX when it is used). Depending on the attributes of the LAN cable, images may become less clear and the camera module may become unstable. -

Page 19: Trigger Control
Trigger Control Free run/trigger mode Free run The camera operates without a trigger signal and performs the video output operation continuously after the shutter (exposure) is finished. The horizontal and vertical timing signals are generated within the camera. During the free-run operation, image pickup timing cannot be controlled. -
Page 20: Special Trigger
Special trigger When operating in trigger mode and performing image pickup in different conditions (such as the shutter, gain, and image pickup area), the setting has to be changed in advance for each trigger input. However, if the special trigger operation is enabled, the setting does not have to be changed and continuous image pick up in different conditions is facilitated. -

Refer to “Trigger Signal Input” (page 14) for details. -
Page 22: Trigger Shift
Trigger shift This device can accept exposure by the next trigger even while a video is output (except for the special trigger operation). In this case, trigger shift should be enabled since the trigger signal can become a noise source. When trigger shift is enabled, adjustment is made automatically for operations from trigger input to exposure to prevent noise contamination. -
Page 23: Trigger Delay
Trigger delay The camera can delay the trigger signal. Trigger signal Exposure Sensor output Register Parameter Setting TriggerDelay 0 to 4000000 Trigger delay [µs] Trigger counter Accepted triggers by which video output is performed are counted. Triggers are counted up by the internal counter even in the free-run operation. -

Trigger range operation example ExposureTime=300, TriggerAcceptanceRangeLowerLimit=100, TriggerAcceptanceRangeUpperLimit=200 in the figure. Trigger signal Exposure Sensor output ExposureTime=300, TriggerAcceptanceRangeLowerLimit=100, TriggerAcceptanceRangeUpperLimit=1000 in the figure. Trigger signal Trigger not disabled Exposure Sensor output Trigger control Since detection of the trigger width time requires a certain time during the trigger width detection operation, the exposure time will be slightly longer than the input trigger width time. -
Page 25: Frame Rate
Frame Rate Auto frame rate The reading cycle is set to allow the frame rate to be the maximum value automatically according to the current shutter setting and the partial scan setting in the free-run operation (Shutter has priority). The next exposure is performed while outputting a video and the next video output is started immediately after finishing all video outputs. -
