However, in the horizontal direction, the horizontal frequency is not changed if the width is decreased. In the GO-5000M-PMCL, the minimum width is “8” and minimum height is “1”. In the GO- 5000C-PMCL, the minimum width is the same as GO-5000-PMCL but minimum height is “2”.

Acquisition control (change the frame rate) 8.1.1 Acquisition control With Trigger OFF (free running mode – see section 7.2.1), the default frame rate of the camera is based on the specified ROI. The smaller the ROI, the faster the default frame rate. However, it is possible to specify a free-running frame rate (i.e., no trigger needed) that is slower than the default rate.

GO-5000M-PMCL / GO-5000C-PMCL Trigger width mode (PWC) In this mode, the exposure time is equal to the trigger pulse width. Accordingly, longer exposure times are supported. Additional settings determine if the trigger pulse can be accepted during the exposure period.
GO-5000M-PMCL / GO-5000C-PMCL 8.7. RCT mode 8.7.1 RCT mode Until the trigger is input, the camera operates continuously and can use auto-gain, if necessary, to control the exposure setting. During this time, FVAL and LVAL are output but DVAL is not output. When the trigger is input, the fast dump is activated to read out the electronic charge very quickly, after which the accumulation and the readout are performed.
GO-5000M-PMCL / GO-5000C-PMCL In the following drawing, the steps to achieve this combination are explained. ① The exposure control is the same as in continuous mode. ② When the trigger signal is input, the charge that has already been accumulated during the current exposure period is read out very quickly and a new exposure period starts.
GO-5000M-PMCL / GO-5000C-PMCL Note 1: GO-5000M-PMCL only Note 2: The minimum trigger interval assumes that the exposure time is the same for each index in the sequence. If the exposure time is different, the difference in period should be added to the interval calculation.
Reset Sequence Index Reset the Sequence Index to 0. At the same time, the Frame Count is also initialized. Note1: In the binning mode, the maximum value is changed. Note2: Only for GO-5000C-PMCL Note3: Only for GO-5000M-PMCL - 51 -...
GO-5000M-PMCL / GO-5000C-PMCL Multi ROI function This function divides one frame image into a maximum of 5 images vertically and reads out all areas in one frame. In this function, width is the same for all 5 images. In the GO-5000-PMCL, image overlapping is not possible.

GO-5000M-PMCL / GO-5000C-PMCL Other functions Black level control This function adjusts the setup level. Reference level 33.5LSB (Average of 100 x 100 pixels) Video level variable range 0~apprx.100 LSB Variable range -256~255 (Default: 0) Resolution 1STEP=0.25LSB 9.1.1 Black Level Selector The following items can be adjusted.
Gain Raw Digital All:100 ~ 1600 (0dB~24dB) Gain Raw Digital Red / Gain Raw Digital Blue :-4533~28400 9.2.4 Gain Auto This provides automatic control of the gain level. This is controlled by the command JAI ALC Reference. There are three modes. OFF: Adjust manually. Continuous: Operate the auto gain continuously The following detailed settings are also available.
This function can be used to convert the input to the desired output characteristics. The Lookup Table (LUT) has 32 points for setup in the monochrome model (GO-5000M-PMCL) and 16 points for setup in the color model (GO-5000C-PMCL). The output level is created by applying gain to the input level to achieve the specified output level.
GO-5000M-PMCL / GO-5000C-PMCL 9.3.2 LUT Index This represents the “starting” or “input” pixel value to be modified by the Lookup Table. The GO- 5000M-PMCL has a 32-point Lookup Table and GO-5000C-PMCL has a 16-point table. Thus, in the GO- 5000M-PMCL, an index value of 0 represents a full black pixel and a value of 31 represents a full white pixel.
GO-5000M-PMCL / GO-5000C-PMCL Linear Dark Compression Input Fig.28 Characteristics Shading Correction This function compensates for shading (non-uniformity) caused by the lens or the light source used. This compensation can be performed even if shading issues are not symmetrical in horizontal and/or vertical directions.

GO-5000M-PMCL / GO-5000C-PMCL In the GO-5000-PMCL, auto gain and auto exposure can be combined to provide a wide ranging automatic exposure control from dark to bright or vice versa. The functions are applied in the sequence shown below and if one function is disabled, the remaining function will work independently.
GO-5000M-PMCL / GO-5000C-PMCL HDR (High Dynamic Range) (GO-5000M-PMCL only) HDR* sensing mode can be set when HDR* Mode is set to ON while Exposure Mode is Timed. The parameters to configure dynamic range are HDR*_SLOPE Level 1, Level 2, Level 3 and Level 4.
