Page 3: Overview
3,388 × 2,712 The unit includes a function to reduce sensor defects, 5 fps and can be set to ON or OFF. The XCL-S900 and XCL-S600 monochrome models use an EXview HAD CCD II high sensitivity sensor, Shading correction usable even in the near-infrared region. -
Page 4: Typical Ccd Phenomena
Typical CCD Phenomena The following effects on the monitor screen are characteristic of CCD cameras. They do not indicate any fault with the camera module. Smear This occurs when shooting a very bright object such as electric lighting, the sun, or a strong reflection. This phenomenon is caused by an electric charge induced by infrared radiation deep in the photosensor. -

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. -

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. When a trigger signal is input before the trigger delay time, or a trigger which contains noise is recognized, the image cannot be displayed. This is not a malfunction. Trigger signal Exposure Sensor output command... -

Trigger signal Trigger not disabled Exposure Sensor output TRG-CNT FRAME-COUNTER 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. -
