6.2.4. Start Stop Mode

The exposure time is controlled by the interval between the ext. trigger and the ext. VD signal. The exposure starts at the first HD pulse after the falling edge of the ext. trigger, and stops 14.5 H after the falling edge of the VD pulse. It means that the trigger pulse must be applied after the external VD pulse, for exposures less than 14.5 H. The range can be between 1/77 to 1/10,000. The Start/Stop mode is a continuous mode where the VD signal must be given continuously. It is not possible to input external VD randomly.

The difference between interlaced frame and field accumulation can be explained as follow. Both modes have 2 fields output in an interlaced frame. With frame accumulation, the contents in the ODD and EVEN sync fields will come from sensing field 1 and 2 on the CCD sensor. With field accumulation both ODD and EVEN sync fields will contain the signal from sensing field 1 and 2 added together. Non-interlaced field accumulation needs only 1 trigger pulse for each field. Refer to “7. Configuring the Camera.”

To use this mode:

 

Set function:

Trigger mode to “Start Stop”. SW 1-4 to OFF

 

On PK8407: JP301 short, JP302 open, JP311 short.

 

Accumulation to “Field” or “Frame”. SW 301-4 to OFF or ON

 

Scanning to “Non-interlaced” or “Interlaced”. SW 1-5 to ON or OFF

 

Shutter Speed to “1/10,000 ”. SW 1-1 through 1-3 to ON

 

Other functions

Input:

Ext. trigger to pin 5 on 6-pin connector.

 

Ext. VD to pin 7 on 12-pin connector

 

(Ext. HD to pin 6 on 12-pin connector). Option

Important notes on using this mode.

External sync system should follow the camera scanning system
