Camera numbers for multiple-line random trigger mode
The table below shows the camera connector and camera number assignments when the operation mode is the
multi-line random trigger mode. This table is an example showing the camera number assignments when the
number of lines is two.
Camera numbers are assigned for each line in ascending order starting from 0. For two-cable connection,
camera numbers are assigned in ascending order regardless of camera connector number pairs.
One-cable Camera Connection
FH/FZ5-series Sensor Controllers support the CameraLink standard’s base configuration. In the base
configuration, one camera cable is used to connect one camera. Starting from camera connector 0 on the
Sensor Controller, connect cameras to the camera connectors you want to use in ascending order of camera
connector number.
Preparing a Controller
No special preparations are required with this Controller because processing items are pre-installed.
Please check that the Controller is turned On and that the Main Window is displayed.
For details, refer to the Instruction Manual.
The first time the program is started, the Language Setting Dialog Box is displayed. Select the language.

• When connecting cameras with two-cable connection, use a pair of ascending consecutive even and odd numbered
Sensor Controller camera connector numbers for each camera. You will not be able to get the image acquisitions
correctly if you use camera connectors with non-consecutive connector numbers, or if an odd numbered connector has a
lower number than the even numbered connector it is paired with.
• CameraLink medium configuration is only supported by FH-Series Sensor Controllers. FZ5-series models, FZ4-series
models and other non-FH-series Sensor Controllers only support the CameraLink base configuration.
• When [Operation mode setting] has been set to the multi-line random trigger mode, changing the camera connections or
[Multi-line Random-trigger mode] in the system settings may change camera number assignments in line with the
change made. After changing the camera connections or [Multi-line Random-trigger mode], before using the Sensor
Controller, check the camera numbers in the property setting screen for the [Camera Image Input] processing items or
[Camera Image Input FH] processing items.
When connecting cameras with two-cable connection, the camera connection screen in the system settings displays the
camera model for one member of the pair of camera connector numbers, and displays [Disconnect] for the other.
