image output with LVDS signal via DIGITAL Interface connector. This operating instructions of digital video camera module covered: • XCL-CG510 (monochrome models) • XCL-CG510C (color models) In this document, we refer to “Digital Video Camera Module” as “the unit”, “XCL-CG510” as “Monochrome camera”, and “XCL-CG510C” as “Color camera”. Features DIGITAL Interface connector Equipped with a Camera Link standard mini connector. The unit can output a detailed and high speed digital image. High image quality 2/3 type 5.07 Megapixel CMOS image sensors with a global shutter function (Monochrome/Color) Various settings Sending a command from the host device allows various settings, including the following. • Gain • Shutter • Partial scan • Trigger control • LUT (Look Up Table) • Output: 8/10/12-bit • Defect correction • Shading correction Electronic shutter function Set anywhere from 1/100,000 sec to 60 sec in 1 µs increments. External trigger shutter function By synchronizing with an external trigger signal, any shutter timing can be used. Partial scan The camera module can limit the number of video output lines to achieve high frame rates, enabling high- speed image processing. Body fixing The screw holes to install the camera module are located under the front panel (the image sensor reference plane). Installing the camera module on the front panel minimizes deviation of the optical axis. LUT (Look Up Table) You can switch to OFF or ON. When set to ON, you can select from five preset values, such as inversion, binarization, any of five-point approximation, etc. Switching an Output Bit Length You can select 8-bit output, 10-bit output or 12-bit output. Binning (XCL-CG510 only) Sensitivity can be doubled approximately by combining two pixels aligned vertically or horizontally. You can set horizontal and vertical binning at the same time. Defect correction The unit includes a function to reduce sensor defects, and can be set to ON or OFF. Shading correction The unit includes a function to correct shading, resulting from a light source or a particular lens, and can be set to ON or OFF. Area gain function You can set the individual digital gain to 16 optional rectangular areas. In the case that multiple rectangular areas overlap, the gain value with the smaller area number will have priority.

Image Sensors Note The following phenomena that may occur in images are specific to image sensors. They do not indicate a malfunction. White flecks Although the image sensors are produced with high- precision technologies, fine white flecks may be generated on the screen in rare cases, caused by cosmic rays, etc. This is related to the principle of image sensors and is not a malfunction. The white flecks especially tend to be seen in the following cases: • when operating at a high environmental temperature • when you have raised the gain (sensitivity) • when using the slow shutter Aliasing When fine patterns, stripes, or lines are shot, they may appear jagged or flicker.

Camera adaptor DC-700/700CE Tripod adaptor VCT-333I (Insulated type) Camera Link cable (Sony Camera-compatible) Camera module interface board Install the board in a PCI/PCI-Express slot in devices such as a computer. Select a commercially available interface board compatible with the Camera Link feature. You can use either a board that supports PoCL, or one that does not. Due to the performance of the board, the frame rate may become low according to lack of processing capacity. To have this product output frames at the highest speed, use a board corresponding to PCI-Express. Performance may also be dependent on the host device (e.g., Computer), so consult the dealer if images are not displayed properly. This cable connects to the DIGITAL Interface connector on the rear panel of the camera module. Image/control signals are transmitted via this cable. If there is support for PoCL, power is also supplied at the same time. If you use a camera module interface board with support for PoCL, be sure to use a camera link cable with support for PoCL. Spotted noise may appear in a specific brightness in the window according to the attribute of the cable. If this noise is an obstacle, use a shorter cable.

Camera module interface board Camera module Power supply You can supply power to the camera module using the following methods. Using the DIGITAL Interface connector This unit supports the PoCL (Power over Camera Link) standard. By connecting a PoCL-compatible camera link cable to a PoCL- compatible camera module interface board, you can power, control, and output images from the camera using a single cable. Heat dissipation is required depending on the usage environment. Using the DC power input connector You can supply power via the DC power input connector using the power adapter. Use DC-700/700CE which is the stable power source free from ripple or noise. Heat dissipation For heat dissipation, refer to When mounting the camera (see page 10). * If the camera module interface board for the camera supports PoCL, the camera can be operated even if the items within the dashed line are not connected.

Note Use a C-mount lens with a protrusion (a) extending from the lens mount face (b) of 10 mm or less. When you use the camera with the lens attached, the resolution of the image output from the camera may differ according to the performance of the lens. Note it when you select a lens. The performance of a lens may change according to the aperture level. If the resolution is not enough, adjust the aperture level. b Guide screw holes (Top) c Guide screw holes / Tripod screw holes (Bottom) When using a tripod, use these four screw holes to attach a VCT-333I tripod adaptor. d Reference screw holes (Bottom) These precision screw holes are for locking the camera module. Locking the camera module into these holes secures the optical axis alignment. Note Refer to the outer dimensions on page 47 about the guide hole and the position and size of standard hole. Using a tripod To use the tripod, install the tripod adaptor VCT-333I (not supplied) on the camera module. Use a tripod screw with a protrusion (4) extending from the installation surface, as follows, and tighten it, using a screwdriver. Be sure that the protrusion (4) does not exceed 5.5 mm in length. Length 4.5 to 5.5 mm Note If you install a tripod adapter (not supplied), use the screws provided. a b

You can connect a camera cable CCXC-12P05N etc. to input the 12 V DC power supply. The pin configuration of this connector is as follows. You can operate the camera without using this connector when using a PoCL-compatible camera module interface board. For details on the pin arrangement, see the following table. *1 Signal output from pin 4, 6, 9 (GPO1/2/3) of DC power input connector This setting allows you to select from exposure signal, strobe control signal, Hi/Low fixed value, etc. The initial values of GPO1/2/3 are all Hi fixed. *2 Signal output from pin 7, 10, 11 (GPI3/2/1) of DC power input connector Function as GPI input or trigger input. The initial setting is GPI1 for trigger input and GPI2/3 for GPI input. f DIGITAL Interface connector (26-pin mini conector) Camera Link Base Configuration: You can connect a Camera Link cable to this connector to control a camera module from a host device utilizing the serial communication protocol while outputting a video signal from the camera module. If you use a camera module interface board with support for PoCL, you can also supply power from this connecter. You can input the external trigger signal via the DIGITAL Interface connector and operate a camera module in the external trigger mode. The following table shows the relation between the pin numbers of the DIGITAL Interface connector and the input/output signals and the like. * About the 1st pin and 26th pin of the DIGITAL Interface connector The connection differs depending on the type of camera module interface board you use.

Connect the camera cable (c) to the DC power input connector (a) and the Camera Link cable (d) to the DIGITAL Interface connector (b) respectively. If you use a camera module interface board with support for PoCL, you can operate the camera even if you do not connect the camera cable to the DC power input connector. When you connect the Camera Link cable, turn the two fastening screws (e) on the connector to secure the cable tightly. Connect the other end of the camera cable to the DC- 700/700CE and the other end of the Camera Link cable to the camera module interface board. Note Please be careful with the points below, as they may be the cause of camera or camera image input board failure. – Connect or disconnect camera cables or camera link cables while the power is not supplied. – Supply power after confirming each cable is firmly connected. – Do not supply power from both camera cable and camera link cable simultaneously. – If you use the camera with PoCL connection, make sure to connect a cable that supports PoCL. Controlling the camera from the host device You can control the camera from host device such as a computer. You can send a command corresponding to the control items, with parameters for the desired settings, if necessary, from the host device to control the camera. Refer to “Camera Control Commands” on page 37 for details on how to send a command and its parameter. Note Make sure to supply power to the camera module and confirm that the camera module is operating before inputting a trigger signal. If you input trigger signal to a camera module without the power supplied, this may cause a malfunction of the camera module. 2 1 3 4 5

When the value read from the temperature sensor is above 75 °C (167 °F), heat dissipation is required. For more information about reading from the temperature sensor, see “Temperature Readout Function” (page 32). To promote heat dissipation from the unit and maintain the performance, mount the camera to a metallic base to fix. Notes • When mounting the camera to the fixing base, secure the camera tightly by using the reference screw holes (see page 7) and screws. • Do not mount the camera to a plate made of a material such as wood or resin that prevents heat dissipation.

Trigger signals can be input via the 7th, 10th, 11th pins of the DC power input connector, the CC1, CC2, CC3, CC4 pins of the DIGITAL Interface connector, or the software command. Switchover of the trigger signal can be changed via the TRG-SRC command. Trigger signal polarity Positive refers to a trigger signal polarity activated while rising from Low to Hi, or during the Hi interval. Negative refers to a trigger signal polarity activated while falling from Hi to Low, or during the Low interval. The default value of a camera is Negative. The GPI connectors 1, 2, and 3 are pulled up on the camera side. When a connector is open, the trigger signal is at the high level and is logically inactive. Note that when Positive of GPI1, 2 or 3 is selected as a trigger input, when the terminal is open, the trigger will be activated. DC power input connector specifications Trigger input polarity = Negative Trigger input polarity = Positive Note When inputting a trigger signal to the camera using the DC-700/700CE, use DC 5 V or less at the logical high level.

be read out. Clearing unnecessary parts at high-speed allows high-speed reading. The area size is selected by the HEIGHT and WIDTH commands, and the read beginning point is selected by the OFFSETX and OFFSETY commands. Using the ROI command, you can set HEIGHT, WIDTH, OFFSETX and OFFSETY at the same time. Reducing HEIGHT increases the frame rate, but changing WIDTH does not change the frame rate. Partial scan can be set with or without a trigger. Binning can be used at the same time. OFFSETX and OFFSETY relate to WIDTH and HEIGHT as follows: OFFSETX + WIDTH ≤ WIDTH (maximum value) OFFSETY + HEIGHT ≤ HEIGHT (maximum value) Configurable range Configurable values OFFSETX, WIDTH: in 16 step OFFSETY, HEIGHT: in 4 step Notes • Since the shutter setting has priority, use a shutter speed high enough to enable partial scan at a higher frame rate. • When using the binning function, the configurable range will be 1/2.

frame rate is increased the sensitivity. The color camera cannot set this. This can be set with or without a trigger. Partial scan can be used concurrently and horizontal and vertical can be set at the same time. Output Bit Length Toggling between 8 bit/10 bit/12 bit for monochrome camera, and toggling between Raw output 8 bit/10 bit/ 12 bit and RGB output 24 bit for color camera are available. * XCL-CG510C only Image flip Flips an image vertically and horizontally. Reboot the unit to reflect the changes of the setting. Gain Manual gain Manual gain can be set finely in 0.1dB increments. Although the settable lower/upper limit values of the gain are slightly different in each camera, the GAIN parameter value can be set from –1 dB or less to 27 dB or more. Same as the gain, the parameter value of the GAIN-FINE can be set from –10 or less to 270 or more. The setting range of the gain that guarantees image quality is from 0 dB to 18 dB. Auto gain (AGC) By executing the GAIN-AUTO command, the gain is automatically adjusted according to the image pickup environment. AGC works so that the average level in a detection frame may reach AGC-LEVEL. The AGC detection frame is set to the central region by default. The detection frame can be displayed or the detection area changed.

of preference 16 positions. If multiple rectangular areas are duplicated, the gain value of the low-numbered area takes priority. Set area for Width/Height/OffsetX/OffsetY is same as “partial read-out”. Gain means 256=1 time. i.e. 8191=approx. 32 times. When this is set to 0, selected area will be completely black. * Area size and position settings are performed based on the absolute coordinate value against the valid pixel. Therefore, the area size and position range should be set within the partial read-out range. *1 This is used to set the area and gain. *2 The area can be switched between valid/invalid without changing the area. *3 Reads out the current settings. *4 List the 16 areas. Shutter (Exposure) Configuring the setting The setting is configured in µs unit. If you do not prioritize the image quality, you can set it up to 60 sec during operation. If the exposure time is long, it will be easier to see the pixel defects. Note Exposure time to be set varies depending on modes. Check the actual value with read out after completing settings. Auto exposure (AE) The shutter is set automatically by detecting the output level. The target level is the same as the value of AGC- LEVEL. This can be performed along with auto gain. Combination of Continuous AGC and Continuous AE AGC and AE coordinate with each other to adjust the level automatically with AGC-LEVEL as the target level. When the environment starts getting dark and the shutter is released, AGC starts to work.

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. In the free-run operation, the adjustment is made automatically to achieve the maximum frame rate according to the shutter setting. Trigger mode Exposure is started by detecting the externally input trigger signal. When EXP-MODE is 0, exposure is started by detecting the rising or falling edge of the trigger signal and the trigger edge detection (exposure is performed based on the set shutter value) is performed. When EXP-MODE is 1, the trigger width detection (exposed for the period of the trigger signal width) is performed. For trigger mode (TRG-MODE=1) Trigger edge detection The figure shows the trigger signal negative polarity (detecting the drop edge). Trigger width detection The figure shows the trigger signal negative polarity (detecting Low level width).

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. Up to 16 settings can be configured. There are the bulk operations in which images are taken consecutively by inputting the trigger signal once and the sequential operation in which images are taken each time the trigger signal is detected. The next exposure is started after the end of video output. In the sequential operation, the second and subsequent trigger signals should be input 5 ms or more after the end of video output. During the special trigger operation, the device cannot be entered to the trigger mode. The source and polarity of the special trigger signal should be defined separately from the trigger mode. Each setting should be saved in the user set. For the items reflected, refer to “Command List” (page 38). Note During special trigger operation, defect correction cannot be used.

Only signals in the set trigger width can be accepted as the trigger signal. This functions as a noise filter, which removes chattering or disturbance noise in the trigger signal line. This also functions as a trigger selector, whereby only a specific camera can be operated by the trigger when multiple cameras share one trigger signal line. When the trigger signal is input, exposure is started after the latency as per trigger range settings. If the trigger width is out of the range, video is not output. If the trigger source is a soft trigger, trigger range limitation is not enabled. Trigger range operation example EXP=300, TRG-RANGE-LOWER=100 in the figure. Image sensor Fast trigger mode If the mode is set to OFF, the next exposure can be started even while reading images from the sensor. The exposure will be started after approximately 2 line hours later from trigger signal detection. If the mode is set to ON, the exposure will start immediately upon the trigger detection. The next exposure cannot be started while reading images. 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. The frame rate is lowered when setting the shutter time longer than the video output time.

The frame rate of the video output can be specified in the free-run operation. The value of the frame rate [fps] × 1,000,000 should be entered. The frame rate faster than the fastest frame rate cannot be set. * The upper limit varies depending on the partial scan setting. Example for setting 15 [fps]: FRAMERATE 15000000 Displaying frame rate The current frame rate during the auto frame rate operation is displayed. Fastest frame rate for partial scanning The fastest frame rate varies depending on HEIGHT for partial scanning.

when the WHITEBALANCE-AUTO command is executed. The detection area is set to the screen center by default. The detection area can also be displayed on the screen. The detection frame can be changed arbitrarily (AWB-FRAME). For manual correction, the FINE command should be executed. The white balance can be set finely per sensor tap. Therefore, a fine adjustment should be made if the color difference between sensor taps cannot be adjusted completely by AWB. LUT Five types of presets are provided. Specify using a 12 bit value. Binarization, 5-point interpolation, and arbitrary setting can be changed. Binarization The binarization threshold can be changed. 5-point interpolation The values of output points 1 through 5 that correspond to input points 1 through 5 can be changed.

This signal indicates that exposure has completed and the image sensor has entered the video output sequence (enabled only when operating the trigger mode). Output is available from the GPO2 or 3 terminals. The sensor readout signal is asserted before optical black (OB) and the effective pixel area is output. Image might not be output properly, if trigger signal is input while this signal is asserted. Pulse Train Generator Pulse waveforms can be output from the GPO connector. Available range is 0.5Hz to 100kHz. Status LED LED on the rear panel lights up according to the output specification set for GPO1 connector. Various settings are possible such as assigning the trigger signal and pulse train generator. The setting is saved immediately and reflected at the next startup.

temperature sensor installed in the circuit board. Its accuracy is ±2°C. Use this value as a general guide. Defect Correction It corrects clear defect points and opaque defect points of the image sensor. From the peripheral pixels, correction is performed on coordinate pixels in which defects are detected. Factory setting and user setting can be selected. Defect correction setup procedure 1 Set conditions in which clear defect points are prone to occur. Below is an example in which gain is 18 dB and the shutter is 1 second. Prevent as much light as possible from entering such as by blocking light. >GAIN 18 >EXP 1000000 2 Set the threshold in units of 14 bits. Points are detected as clear defect points when this level is exceeded. Below is an example for 3200 step/14bit. Pixels that indicate 3200 to 16383 are detected. >DEFECT-THRESHOLD 3200 3 Execute clear defect point detection. Detection takes four times the EXP time setting. The output levels on the same x coordinate axis are shown below. The levels uniformly indicate around 1000 steps when an all-black image is taken, but defect pixels (at high levels) are present in some locations. All pixels whose levels exceed 3200 steps, which was set in step 2, are detected. >DEFECT-DETECTION 1 4 Send a DEFECT-DETECTION command to confirm that the detection is completed. End if 0 is returned. 5 Execute opaque defect point detection. Like the clear defect point detection, set the image pickup conditions and the threshold in units of 14 bits. Below is an example for 10000 step/14bit. Pixels that indicate 0 to 10000 steps are detected. If are not setting opaque defect points, you can skip this step. >DEFECT-THRESHOLD 10000 >DEFECT-DETECTION 2 6 Send DEFECT-DETECTION command to confirm that the detection is completed. End if 0 is returned. Command TEMPERATURE Command Parameter Setting DEFECT- CORRECTION 0 Correction off 1 Correction on Defect pixel Pixels that are detected Pixels that are not detected Defect pixel Pixels that are not detected Pixels that are detected

To apply the pixels detected in steps 3 and 4, select 2. To apply factory settings, select 0. To apply values that have been saved, select 1. >DEFECT-PATTERN-LOAD 2 8 Turn on defect detection correction. >DEFECT-CORRECTION 1 9 Save the settings. To repeat defect detection without saving, repeat steps 1 to 6. >DEFECT-PATTERN-SAVE Note The upper limit of defect detection points is 2047 for clear and opaque defect points combined. Correction cannot be performed over the upper limit. The detected defect points can be confirmed using DEFECT- DETECTION-RESULT. If the upper limit is exceeded, defect detection will fail or abnormal defect detection will occur and RESULT will be -1. Shading Correction Depending on the characteristics of the lens, shadings caused by a drop in the amount of light around the lens, or light source variation, are corrected. The nine patterns can be saved as the user settings. Shading Correction has two modes. In peak detection mode, you can adjust the screen to brightest level. In average detection mode, you can adjust the whole screen to its average brightness. Command Parameter Setting DEFECT- PATTERN- LOAD 0 Factory setting 1 User setting 2 Data detected using DEFECT-DETECTION Command Parameter Function SHADING- DETECTION 1 Start detection (peak detection) 2 Start detection (average detection) Command Parameter Function SHADING- CORRECTION 0 Correction off 1 Correction on Command Parameter Function SHADING- PATTERN-SAVE 0 to 8 Save shading pattern Command Parameter Function SHADING- PATTERN-LOAD 0 to 8 Read shading pattern

1 Fix the lens and lighting conditions. Make an adjustment by assuming the brightest level as the target level in the peak detection mode, where the condition of the brightness is not uniform due to an uneven light source, as shown in the figure below. 2 Adjust the exposure time and other parameters so that the target level is about 50%. On color cameras, adjust the white balance. 3 Execute shading detection. >SHADING-DETECTION 1 Read the Status to determine whether the calculation is finished. >SHADING-DETECTION 1 (running) 0 (finished) Return to 0 when finished. 4 Determine the effect of shading correction. > SHADING-PATTERN-CHECK 5 Save shading pattern. >SHADING-PATTERN-SAVE 0 6 Readout the saved pattern. >SHADING-PATTERN-LOAD 0 Note Keep the trigger mode off when doing the shading detection. Reset the camera once if the shading correction cannot be finished. Peak detection mode: The whole object tends to become brighter. Average detection mode: The bright parts of the object may darken. Specify the color to detect shading (XCL- CG510C only) You can select the color of pixel to detect shading.
