CV-L105 1. General The CV-L105 is a high-speed 3CCD color line scan camera with 2048 pixels resolution. It features digital LVDS RGB output with 30 MHz pixel rate, allowing line rate up to 14285 lines/second. An exposure control function facilitates constant exposure time, independent of the scan rate. In combining the latest dichroic prism and line sensor technology, the CV-L105 provides excellent color reproduction with high linearity. The latest version of this manual can be downloa

CV-L105 6. Functions and Operations 6.1. Principle of operation A line scan camera works according to the same principle as a fax machine, also sometimes referred to as a “push broom” operation. It captures a single line at a time (horizontal), and requires either the object or the camera to be moving to create the vertical direction of the image. Area Fig. 8. The principle of line scan. A 3CCD line scan camera follows the exact same principle, with the

When using a line scan camera together with an encoder, it is crucial to calculate the required specifications of the encoder in order to maintain the same aspect ratio in both vertical and horizontal resolution. The horizontal resolution is given by the number of pixels in the

CV-L105 6.2.1. Internal Trigger. Scan mode. In this mode, the camera does not require an EXT TRIG signal to be issued to the camera. The line rate (scan rate) is generated inside the camera. The camera will operate continuously with its internal trigger. The exposure time is equal to the scanning time set by the SCAN parameter via RS-232C. The permitted range for the scan rate is 151 µs to 32.5 ms (corresponds to 6.6 kHz to 30 Hz). SHUTTER parameter has no function here. To use this

CV-L105 6.2.3. External Trigger. Scan mode. In this mode, the camera requires an EXT TRIG signal to be issued to the camera. The trigger signal is typical taken from an encoder. The exposure time is equal to the trigger interval. On the EXT TRIG input positive going edge the ongoing integration period is terminated and charge is read out. At the same time it starts a new cycle. The exposure time is therefore dependant of the line rate. SHUTTER and SCAN parameters has no function here. Th

CV-L105 6.2.4. External Trigger. Shutter mode. In this mode, the camera requires an EXT TRIG signal to be issued to the camera. The trigger signal is typical taken from an encoder. The scanning time is equal to the trigger interval. The exposure time is equal to the trigger low period (pulse width). For every EXT TRIG input negative going edge an integration period starts. It is terminated and charge is read out on the trigger positive going edge. The exposure time is therefore independant

CV-L105 6.3. Other functions 6.3.1. Binnig Binning is a function where the signal from two neighbour pixels are added and read out as a single pixel. The sensitivity will be double, but the resolution will be the half. The binning function has no influence on the internal scan rate and shutter setting. The function can be selected by RS-232C, internal jumper setting or on the I/F connector pin #10. For configuration please refer to 7.2 and 7.3. 6.3.2. Pixel rate The camera has 2 pi

CV-L105 7. Configuring the Camera All configuration of the CV-L105 camera is done via the RS-232C port, which is factory setting. Binning and pixel rate settings can also be controlled by TTL signals into the interface connector or internal jumpers. From the factory, the camera will start up with the factory default. The factory setting is as follows: Clock 30 MHz Binning 2048 (Off) Trigger Internal Mode Scan Scan time 32.350 msec RGB gain and offset To 3100K color balance (by in
