MVS6000 System Level Manual/1.0/Dec-2001 4-3
4.4 Illumination Settings
The illumination settings for the MVS600x board, are also set in the MMI software.
4.4.1 Rough Illumination Settings
These settings have the same meaning for the MVS600x board as for the MVS3x0 board: they
represent the amplification of the analog signal from the camera by the MVS board.
4.4.2 Fine Illumination Settings
The fine illumination settings depend on four values that are selected in the CNF_edit program.
For the MVS600x board, the names are the same as for the MVS3x0 board but the illumination is
set to a percentage of the maximal illumination duration.
names (in CNF_edit)
continuous 100 %
long 40 %
medium 10 %
short 1 line
The above selection can be interpreted as the “resolution” of the illumination. The fine settings of
the MMI correspond to a percentage of this time.
Example (MX12 Progressive scan camera):
CNF_edit settings fine illumination in MMI resulting integration/illumination
Continuous 100% 40ms
10% 4ms
Long 100% 16ms
20% 3.2ms
Medium 100% 4ms
1% 40µsec
