CV-A1 1. General The CV-A1 is a monochrome progressive scan 1/2” CCD camera with 1.4 Megapixel resolution. It is designed for automated inspection, featuring a small housing and a wide range of unique functions. The asynchronous trigger can be set to work in several modes, to allow such functions as pulse width controlled shutter, programmable shutter speed and long time integration. To obtain higher frame rates, the camera has partial scanning and both horizontal and vertical binning

Basic functions Some of the primary camera functions need a general introduction before the operation modes are described. The list below shows the primary functions from the command list. SM Shutter Mode Normal shutter, Programmable Exposure SH Shutter Speed Off to 1/200,000 second PE Programmable Exposure 1.3 H to 1023.3 H SC Scanning Format Full frame, 1/2 partial, 1/3, 1/6 partial BI Bi

CV-A1 Binning mode BI is a function where the signal charge from 2 or more adjacent pixels are added together and read out as one pixel. A resulting full frame with lower resolution can be read out with a higher rate. By adding 2 pixels together, the sensitivity is doubled. The CV-A1 has both vertical and horizontal binning. With V binning the pixel charge from 2 adjacent lines are added together in the horizontal ccd register. It is done by double pulses to the vertical ccd register. With

CV-A1 6.2. Input-output of HD/VD Signals In the default setting the camera will accept external HD/VD signals on pin 6 and 7 of the 12 pin Hirose connector. If external HD/VD is applied, the camera will synchronize to it. If no external sync signals are applied, the camera will operate with its internal x-tal controlled sync. The camera scanning system should be set to the same as the external connected sync. In fig. 13 below, the time requirements to relation between VD and HD are shown.

CV-A1 6.3. Continuous Operation (Non triggered) Trigger Mode Normal. TR=0. It is for applications where the camera is continuous running without external trigger. In normal mode the shutter mode can be normal or programmable exposure. (SM=0 SM=1). The shutter will work in all 16 steps up to 1/200,000 second or with the programmable exposure in 1023 steps. In partial scanning and binning modes, shutter times longer than the actual frame time has no meaning. The exposure will be equal the fr

CV-A1 6.4. External Trigger Modes This camera has 6 external asynchronous trigger modes, which can be set by RS-232C commands. 1. Edge Pre-select Mode.TR=1 Pre-selected exposure. (SM=0, SM=1) 2. Pulse Width Control Mode. TR=2 Pulse width controlled exposure. (HC=0, HC=1) 3. Frame Delay read out mode. TR=3 PWC exposure read out by ext. VD. (HC=0, HC=1) 4. Long Time Exposure Mode. TR=4 Exposure is interval between ext. VD. 5. Start/stop Mode. TR=5 Exposure start by trigger and stop by ex

CV-A1 6.5. Edge Pre-select Mode The exposure starts at the first HD pulse after the trigger leading edge. It stops and is read out after the duration of the shutter time selected. It can be the first 9 step in normal or 1023 steps in programmable shutter. SM=0 or SM=1. Shutter selections SH ≥10 will result in 1/12,000 sec. This mode will operate with full and partial scanning and with all binning modes. Partial scanning together with binning will work, but it is not described, and no timin

CV-A1 6.6. Pulse Width Control Mode In this mode the exposure starts from the leading edge of the trigger pulse. It stops at the trailing edge of the trigger pulse, and the resulting video is read out. The accumulation can be either H synchronous or H asynchronous. HC=0 or HC=1. In H synchronous mode the accumulation starts at the first HD pulse after the leading edge of the trigger. It can result in <1H jitter if the trigger is not synchronized to H. In H asynchronous mode the accumulati

CV-A1 6.7. Frame-delay read out Mode In this mode the exposure starts from the leading edge of the trigger pulse. It stops at the trailing edge of the trigger pulse. The accumulation can be either H synchronous or H asynchronous. HC=0 or HC=1. In H synchronous mode the accumulation starts at the first HD pulse after the leading edge of the trigger. In H asynchronous mode the accumulation starts immediately after the leading edge of the trigger. (The internal H is not reset.) The resulting

CV-A1 6.8. Long Time Exposure Mode The exposure time is the interval between 2 external VD pulses sent to the VD input. The exposure starts after the input of a VD, and it ends after the next VD input, which again starts a new exposure. The interval between the external VD pulses (exposure time) can be from V to ∞. Thermal and dark current noise will increase by accumulation time, therefore the exposure time is not recommended to exceed 2 seconds (or 30 V periods). The external applied sy

CV-A1 6.9. Start/Stop Mode The exposure is controlled by the interval between the external trigger pulse and an external VD pulse. The exposure start at the first HD pulse after the trigger leading edge, and it stops after the rising edge of the VD. An EEN pulse will indicate the active accumulation time, and a WEN pulse indicates that the resulting video is being read out. The shortest exposure time in this mode is >1.3H. The longest exposure time is <2000 H. To use this mode: Set f

CV-A1 6.10. Smearless Mode This mode will reduce the unwanted smear signal from a highlighted scene when a short exposure time is used. The trigger mode is like edge pre-select, but a dummy readout is performed before the active accumulation is started. It will remove the smear above the highlighted parts in the image, but there is still smear left below highlighted areas. The trigger leading edge will start the dummy readout. It takes 54 H before the exposure starts. The exposure stops a

CV-A1 6.11. Other Functions. Gain and analogue settings. !! Do not adjust these settings unless you have knowledge to video adjustments !! The video gain can be set to AGC or manual. In AGC mode the video level is kept constant by the automatic gain control circuit within a 12 dB range. Normal 700 mVpp ±30 mV. The level can be adjusted with AGC level. In manual gain mode, either the gain level or the rear potentiometer can adjust the level. Setup level. This setting can adjust the setup
