CM-030PMCL-RH 1. General CM-030PMCL-RH is 17mm diameter Remote Head camera using 330L pixels, monochrome progressive scan CCD. This camera achieves a high speed frame rate of 120.491frames per second. The camera head is small, so it suitable for such machine vision applications as surface mounting, semiconductor inspection, surface inspection etc. CM-030PMCL employs PoCL (Power on Camera Link) function and the camera operates full functions by just connecting the cable with a POCL compatible frame grabber.

CM-030PMCL-RH 6. Functions and Operations 6.1. Basic functions The CM-030PMCL-RH camera is 17mm diameter small remote head camera using 330K pixels, monochrome progressive CCD. The length between a camera head and the CCU is 2m and the cable is attached on the camera head. The frame rate is as high as 120.491 fps. The interface to the host PC is via digital Mini Camera Link (Mini-CL) with POCL capability. The output video is either 8 or 10 bits.
CM-030PMCL-RH 6.1.2. Electronic Shutter CM-0303PMCL-RH allows selecting shutter speed in two ways; preset shutter (10 fixed steps) and programmable exposure (in 511 line period, LVAL, increments). Preset Shutter The following shutter speeds can be selected by command SH=0 through SH=9. OFF (1/120), 1/250, 1/500, 1/1000, 1/2000, 1/4000, 1/8000, 1/10000, 1/15000, 1/30000 seconds Programmable Exposure (PE) The exposure time can be programmed in 16.24µs (LVAL period) increments.
CM-030PMCL-RH 6.1.3. Continuous operation or triggered operation The camera can operate in continuous operation applications not requiring asynchronous external trigger. The camera will operate at its maximum frame rate, 120.491 frames/seconds in this mode. For applications that require an external trigger, the camera can accept an external trigger input via the Camera Link interface. The camera can operate with up to 120 frames/second in triggered operation as well. 6.1.4.
CM-030PMCL-RH 6.1.6. Vertical Binning Binning mode (Command VB) is a function where the signal charge from 2 adjacent (vertical) pixels are added together and read out as one pixel. Binning results in half vertical resolution and higher frame rate. By adding 2 pixels together, the sensitivity is doubled. The charge accumulated in 2 adjacent lines is added together in the horizontal CCD register. This is done by providing two pulses to the vertical CCD register for each line readout.
CM-030PMCL-RH 6.2. Sensor Layout and timing 6.2.1.

Vertical timing The FVAL period for continuous mode full scan is shown. Fig. 9.
CM-030PMCL-RH 6.2.4. Partial Scan Partial scan allows higher frame rate by reading out a smaller center portion of the image. This is particularly useful when inspecting objects that do not fill the whole height of the image.
CM-030PMCL-RH Horizontal Timing The horizontal timing is the same the full scanning.

Horizontal timing for partial scanning 6.2.5. Vertical Binning Vertical binning combines charge from two adjacent lines, reducing the vertical resolution to half and at the same time increasing frame rate and sensitivity.

CM-030PMCL-RH 6.3.2. Pre-select Trigger Mode An external trigger pulse initiates the capture, and the exposure time (accumulation time) is defined by the SH or PE commands. The resulting video signal will start to be read out after the selected shutter time. For timing details, refer to fig. 8 through fig. 13 and fig. 14 & 15. To use this mode: Set function: Trigger mode to “Edge pre-select” Scanning V Binning Shutter mode to pre-set or programmable SM=0 or 1 Shutter speed SH=0 to 9 Programmable exp.

CM-030PMCL-RH 8. Camera Control Tool for CM-030PMCL-RH The Camera Control Tool for Windows 2000/XP can be downloaded from www.jai.com. The control tool contains a camera control program and a developer's kit for integrating the control tool in your own software. For the integrator and experienced user, the Camera Control Toll is much more than a program with a window interface. It also provides an easy and efficient ActiveX interface built for MS Windows 2000/XP.
CM-030PMCL-RH The bar is red when the Camera Control Tool is not connected to a camera or when the camera is turned off. 8.3. Communication Window The Communication Window is used to connect the Camera Control Tool with the JAI camera. Camera Link communication: Select “Camera Link “at the pull-down box for Category. Port Name shows DLL file names (or frame grabber names) for all Camera Link frame grabbers that are installed in the pc. This is done by using a DLL file called "clserial.
CM-030PMCL-RH Files When clicking the Write to File or Read from File button, the user is prompted for a file using a standard file dialog. New files are created if they do not already exist. Files for camera settings have the extension cam. Information about the communication port is not stored in the files. All settings are automatically sent to the camera when a file has been loaded (if the camera is online).
CM-030PMCL-RH 5. The Camera Control Tool saves the last used settings (not the user area), which don‟t have to be the same as for the last saved user area. 6. The setup file ‟CameraName.ini‟ stores all information about camera settings. When the program is started the last settings for the program are loaded from the file ‟CameraName.ini‟ 7. When you turn on the camera and the Camera Control Tool, it is possible that the Camera Control Tool does not show the actual camera settings (see 4. and 5.). a.
