features and timing details.
Common Specifications
Camera Controls
Synchronization Modes
Free running, External triggered, Software trigger through Ethernet, Precision Time
Protocol (PTP)
Exposure Control
Internal – Programmable via the camera API
External (Global Shutter models) – based on Trigger Width
Exposure Time Maximum
16 sec (Global Shutter models)
0.5 sec (Rolling Shutter model – C4900)
Exposure Modes
Programmable in increments of 1µs
minimum (in µs) is model specific
Pulse controlled via Trigger pulse width (Global Shutter models).
Trigger Inputs
Opto-isolated, 2.4V to 24V typical, 16mA min.
Debounce range from 0 up to 255 µs
Trigger Delay from 0 to 2,000,000 µs
Strobe Outputs
Output opto-isolated:
Aligned to the start of exposure with a programmable delay, duration and polarity
(using “start of exposure on output line source” feature)

generation, and can control Output I/O pins
Timestamp
Timer to Timestamp images and events (1μs tics using Internal Clock, 8 nanosecond
tics when using IEEE1588 ( PTP: Precise time Protocol)
Metadata Metadata Output at the end of the Images (also known as GenICam Chunk Data)
Cycling Mode Automatic cycling between 64 camera setups
