To reset memory page 1 to the factory default settings, load memory page 0 and save those settings to memory page 1. Page 0 is password-protected and you cannot write to it. If you find that you do need to write to page 0, contact JAI Inc. for password access.

Note: Configurations such as grabber settings, pulse generator, GPIO, and image setting must be saved into the XML file. Refer to Section 3.4.1, “Check the Current Camera Setting,” on page 11 for more information.

3.4.10 Free-Running Mode

The camera must be in Manual Shutter or Direct Shutter mode. In the example below, there is no partial scan.

1.Connect to the camera.

2.Under the Device Features tab, set the GPIO look-up table to Q5=1.

3.Under the GigE Software tab, change the manual shutter or direct shutter values.

4.Click Start.

You should now see a free-running video stream.

3.4.11 Externally Triggered

The external trigger is sent through pin 6 of the 12-pin Hirose connector. To use the software to enable the external trigger, follow these steps:

1.Change the GigE camera software shutter mode to Async. Shutter.

2.Set the GPIO look-up table to Q4 = I0 and Q5 = 1.

3.4.12 Internally Triggered

The camera-control software includes pulse generators that you can use to trigger the camera internally. To do this, follow these steps:

1.Select Pulse Generator 0 under the Device Features tab. Set the pulse width and delay and check the Periodic option if needed.

2.Set the GPIO look-up table to Q5=1 and Q4=I7.

3.Set the shutter mode in the GigE camera software page to async shutter. For more information, refer to Section 3.4.2, “Exposure Control,” on page 12.
